PHASE THE WEIGHT. When it comes to cross-country racing or sprinting uphill against your buddies, the best material is just good enough. It's precisely for these days that racers and cross-country bikers can now rely on our new NEWMEN Phase 30 VONOA. Thanks to the combination of the Phase Light carbon rim and VONOA carbon spokes, the XC wheels weigh in at a sensational 1160 grams (29″). Easy to service, 40 percent lighter and 30 percent stiffer: NEWMEN brings a real game changer to mountain bikes with the newly developed VONOA carbon spokes. The new MTB carbon wheels deliver weight savings without compromise. At just 1160 grams, they accelerate more explosively than any other MTB wheel, offer perfect support for wide MTB tires thanks to the 30 mm rim and are robust enough for the toughest XC courses. The stiff VONOA carbon spokes weigh just 2.8 grams each. The aero version of the VONOA spokes has already been convincing NEWMEN road bike sets for over two years and has proven itself with the WorldTour team Intermarché-Wanty. For the tough MTB requirements, we are using round VONOA spokes in the classic straight-pull design for the new Phase 30 VONOA. As the carbon spokes are significantly more tear-resistant and stiffer than conventional steel spokes, 24 spokes per wheel are sufficient for a perfect balance of stiffness and comfort. The hub body has also been further optimized and the weight reduced for the Phase 30 VONOA. Inside the FADE CS hub, however, is the same proven technology that has characterized our FADE MTB hubs for years: Low weight, convincing durability and quiet freewheel noise. In the event of a service or defect, handling is exactly the same as with classic steel spokes. The VONOA carbon spokes can also be trued or replaced individually if a spoke breaks.
 
As with all NEWMEN carbon rims, there is a lifetime 50% crash replacement on the Phase 30 Lineup - even for second or third owners.
