Oneway Distribution signs deal to ship Newmen products into UK Irish and Benelux markets

German bicycle component label Newmen is set to be distributed to the UK, Irish and Benelux markets thanks to a new deal with Oneway Distribution.

Mick Gratz and Fabian Merz, two ex-Syntace engineers, are the masterminds behind the new label, which has set out with a focus on products like high-end carbon wheels, handlebars, hubs, stems and seat posts, all delivered to the market at a fair price. Newmen’s hubs are 100% made in Germany, including the CNC milling and assembly.

“We are delighted to add this new brand to our portfolio,” said sales manager Bart van de Biggelaar. “Newmen is young and innovative and has a strong team behind it due to its experience and knowledge. We will continue to build their market position in the Benelux, UK and Ireland. Our dealer web shop combined with good product availability will ensure a good start for Newmen. Our extensive experience in the market and strong name in Europe make us the ideal partner for manufacturer and dealer.”

Two highlights of the Newman portfolio include: newmen hub

The flared rim profile doesn’t only make this wheel series more durable, it also keep the tyre round increasing the cornering grip. Together with the new Newmen straight pull hubs (pictured) and the 28 Sapim Laser spokes, this wheelset is a lightweight and comfortable ready to race package.
