R2BIKE wheelset 29" XC | Tune MTB 6-hole hubs | Newmen carbon rims
Application: Cross Country XC
With this wheelset, even racers can really let it rip. The indestructible Tune hubs and the superbly crafted Newmen rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error, while the well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
The Micro hub set is the ideal introduction to the world of lightweight MTB hubs from Tune. As you would expect from Tune, the new Micro Boost hubs are CNC-milled from 7075 aluminum. The special feature of the front hub is a new hub flange that does not require a carbon ring. The symmetrical design ensures optimum balance of the front wheel. The POEtry138 freehub mechanism keeps play to a minimum when starting off, so that direct power transmission is possible. The J-bend flanges make the hubs particularly stable yet lightweight.
Like all Tune hubs, the Micro Boost is produced, milled and assembled entirely in the Black Forest.
Rims
Advanced becomes Phase - Newmen provides a special rim for every area of application within this series. Whether cross-country, all-mountain or enduro, you will always receive an uncompromisingly customized model, but they all have one thing in common: Newmen's high quality.
The Phase Light front and rear or in combination with a Phase Base rim on the rear wheel are the first choice for every racer. They shine with the lowest weight and first-class riding characteristics. The perfectly processed carbon fibers are extremely impact-resistant and give the rim incredible stability. This means that precise steering movements are possible at all times. A special production process makes reworking and painting unnecessary. This saves even more grams.
The very generous inner width of 30 mm, together with the slightly outward-positioned sidewall, gives the tire an optimally round shape, which is reflected in better grip and more comfort.Newmen has opted for a hookless rim flange, which has been reinforced and is better able to withstand possible punctures. This means that you can ride with less air pressure and achieve optimum tubeless compatibility.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire assembly process, great importance is attached to ensuring that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to give the first owner a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage, as long as it was not caused by force.
The following services are also included for first-time buyers:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes included.
You will receive a spare spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
Within 2 years of purchase, you will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, during which the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs are incurred.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure within 2 years of purchase, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
