Newmen releases ultra-deep, ultra-wide Streem G.62 gravel wheels – and they're half the price of ENVE's

Newmen's new Streem G.62 wheelset is the latest to adopt the current trend for full-on aerodynamic gravel race wheels. It follows the release of Zipp’s groundbreaking 303 XPLR, ENVE’s huge G SES 6.7 and Hunt’s Limitless Gravel.

The wheels have already been raced at the highest level. Lukas Pöstlberger won this year’s Traka 200 with the Streem G.62s on his Rose gravel bike.

Katharina Kruse also used them for the epic 2,700km Final Frontier Patagonia, proving the G.62's quality at both ends of the gravel racing spectrum.

The range-topping Streem G.62 wheelset comes with carbon spokes and Newmen’s own FADE R hubs. It has a claimed weight of 1,530g (our test pair weighed in at 1,539g: 808g rear and 731g front, including aero valves, aero cover and tubeless tape) and 130kg system weight limit.

The £1,499 / €1,690 price tag undercuts Zipp’s 303 XPLR SW at £1,600 / $2,100 / €1,800 and is less than half the price of ENVE’s flagship G SES 6.7 Pro at £3,499 / $3,100 / €3,899.

Aero design

The 62mm-deep Streem G.62 wheelset certainly pushes the boundaries on aero depth for gravel wheels. It outdoes Zipp’s 303 XPLR, at 54mm, although it sits between ENVE’s mix of 60mm front and 67mm rear.

Newmen has been less extreme when it comes to inner rim width. The G.62's 27mm measurement sits below Zipp’s 32mm and ENVE’s huge 35mm. Perhaps Newmen is being conservative – or is it simply conforming to the existing ETRTO (European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation) recommendations?

According to the ETRTO, a 27mm inner width is compatible with tyres from 35mm to 66mm. Also, unlike Zipp and ENVE, Newmen has used a hooked rim profile.

The external width of 45mm is what Newmen believes brings the biggest aero gains, creating a smoother interface with wider gravel tyres. It’s the same message from Zipp with its 40mm-wide external 303s and ENVE's 42.6mm.

So, while Newmen may be playing it safe internally, it's pushing boundaries on the outer profile.

With Newmen stating gravel racing speeds are getting faster, aero comes into play more.

The wind-tunnel testing, at 40kph with a Schwalbe G-One RS 45mm tyre, showed the Streem G.62 offered significant drag reductions over Newmen's existing wheels by more than 6 watts, and was 2-3 watts more efficient than Zipp’s 303 XPLR SW and DT Swiss’ GRC 1100 50.

The crosswind stability shows even more of an advantage at more extreme wind angles.

For more of an aero advantage, the Streem G.62 is compatible with Newmen’s hidden aero valve system that debuted on the Newmen Streem Vonoa.

The aero valve system consists of a short, stubby Presta valve in place of the usual Schrader. Compared to a standard tubeless valve, these weigh only 6g a pair.

You use the included valve tool (with a Schrader end) to thread onto the tubeless valve for inflation. When you aren’t using the valve, the rim has a blanking plug to improve aerodynamics.

Newmen also offers compatible Tubolito TPU inner tubes if you don’t want to run tubeless or want a spare tube for emergencies.

Range details

Newmen is launching the Streem G.62 with two models. The premium carbon-spoked offering weighs in at a claimed 1,530g (actual weight 1,539g). The more modest steel-spoked Sapim CX Ray version has a claimed weight of 1,600g.

The steel-spoke G.62 will be priced at €1,390.
