Sturmvogel Newmen Plus

Components

Under the project name Storchenschnabel, we developed our Z50-36. For the Storchenschnabel we deviate from our usual nomenclature and do not use the inner width as the second digit (here 29mm), but instead the outer width – the width of the rim. With 35.5mm at the bead and 37mm at the centre, the Z50-36 offers perfect performance for all gravel racers who can manage with a 35mm wide tyre at the front. Our calculations show an aerodynamic advantage of 5–9 watts compared to 30mm wide gravel rims of the same height. A 36mm width and an inner width of 29mm results in a bead wall thickness of 5.5mm – making this rim significantly more resistant than conventional gravel rims.

DT Swiss 350
The DT Swiss 350 impresses with its robust construction, low weight and high reliability. A lightweight axle design combined with a precisely milled hub shell reduces weight, while the proven 36-tooth Ratchet freehub system ensures direct and reliable power transfer. Thanks to the tool-free Plug-In design, the freehub can be easily serviced or converted to other freehub standards.

Pillar Wing 20/21 Spokes
Aerodynamically shaped bladed spokes with an ovalized cross-section that reduce air resistance compared to conventional bladed spokes. They offer approximately 13–15% higher lateral stiffness compared to bladed spokes of equal weight.

Safety through Hooked Rim Design
The hooked rim construction mechanically secures the tyre bead in the rim bed and allows the use of a wide range of modern tubeless and clincher tyres. No restrictions due to hookless approvals. Maximum tyre compatibility with high operational safety.
