Components
Under the project name Sturmvogel, we developed our Z45-36. For the Sturmvogel 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 Z45-36 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 3–8 watts compared to 30mm wide gravel rims of the same height.
Newmen FADE
The Newmen FADE R hub was developed for the higher loads of modern road and e-road drivetrains. The 36-tooth FADE freehub system with three pawls ensures reliable power transfer and features a significantly reduced freehub noise. The compact hub shell supports an aerodynamic design and is compatible with common freehub standards. High-quality, double-sealed industrial bearings ensure smooth running and a long service life.
DT Aerolite
The DT Aerolite is a particularly lightweight aero spoke with a flat profile for improved aerodynamics. The combination of a butted mid-section and additional flat forging offers an excellent balance of weight, stability and air resistance. Compatible with hubs with standard spoke holes. Weight: 278g (64 spokes, 264mm).
DT Aero Comp
The DT Aero Comp combines high stability with aerodynamic efficiency. Its butted and flat-forged spoke body provides a balanced combination of stiffness, durability and low air resistance. Compatible with hubs with standard spoke holes. Weight: 380g (64 spokes, 264mm).
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.
