If you want to be the best, join the best. That’s what Ibis did when they partnered with Stan’s NoTubes for their brand new S-Wheels and Rims collaboration. Featuring Stan’s Bead Socket Technology (BST), the new rims have a shorter sidewall, helping to ensure easy tubeless setup, more vertical compliance, fewer air burps, and reduced weight. This has been combined with an asymmetric rim profile in two widths, using Ibis’ proprietary Toughened Hybrid Carbon.
Ibis S-Wheels and Rims collaboration with Stan’s BST
Ibis has been hard at work over the years, expanding their wheel line to include more price points, new materials, and now a significant partnership with tubeless-powerhouse Stan’s NoTubes. While their older wheels were claimed to be among the widest, lightest, and strongest available, they wanted to make them better. To do this, they realized that they needed to reduce the height of their rim beadwalls, to improve vertical compliance, reduce weight, eliminate air burps, and even improve impact resistance.
The new rims are available in two widths – 28mm and 35mm (internal). These both use an asymmetric profile, are available in 27.5″ and 29″ diameters, and carry a seven year warranty. While rim offset doesn’t always exactly match hub flange offset, Ibis claims equal or near-equal left and right spoke tension for long term durability.
