From gravel‑grind to solo‑track bikepacking, every gravel rider dreams of feather‑light wheels. NEWMEN’s two fresh gravel models, fitted with VONOA carbon spokes, deliver exactly that—agile climbs and punchy sprints without the baggage.
Built for easy upkeep, 40 % less weight and noticeably stiffer, the new Advanced SL X.R.36 brings VONOA’s celebrated carbon spokes to gravel for the first time. At just 2.9 g each, those aero spokes are not only ultra‑light, they’re tougher and stiffer than steel, letting 21 spokes per wheel strike the perfect balance of rigidity and ride‑smoothness. The hub body has been trimmed down further, shaving off extra grams, while the FADE R CS hub core retains the tried‑and‑true low‑weight, durable, whisper‑quiet freewheel tech that NEWMEN fans know and love.
X.R.36 VONOA: Aero edge for fast gravel
The Advanced SL X.R.36 extracts every ounce of speed from race‑ready gravel bikes. Its 36 mm hook‑less carbon rim slices drag while staying delightfully nimble, delivering sleek aerodynamics and explosive acceleration in equal measure. Like the STREEM road wheels, the integrated aero valve disappears seamlessly into the rim, keeping the look clean and the airflow smooth.
Each X.R.36 VONOA wheel ships ready to roll with a full Streem Aero valve kit, pre‑installed tubeless rim tape and Milkit tubeless sealant—so you can hit the trail straight out of the box, and maybe even leave a grin on the gravel behind you.
