Stans NoTubes Crest S2 6-Bolt 26 Inch Front MTB Wheel

Upgrading to a set of quality tubeless wheels is the number one way to improve the ride of your XC or Gravel bike. Tubeless offers more comfort and control with less rolling resistance, and when it comes to tubeless, nothing beats the easy inflation and performance of Stan’s patented Bead Socket Technology. First introduced over 15 years ago, the original Crest rim design with BST helped launch the tubeless revolution. Today’s Crest S2 wheels offer quick and easy inflation, the legendary airtight seal, and a 25mm width that provides incredible stability to 40mm to 2.3″ Gravel and XC tires.

Constructed of 6061 aluminium with a reinforced spoke bed and eyeletted spoke holes for strength, the Crest S2 rim is built to last. The wheelset also features fast-engaging E-sync hubs constructed to handle the added weight and forces of eBikes and more aggressive riders. Thanks to cromoly axles, heat-treated steel ratchet rings, double-row Enduro bearings, and a pawl design that reduces stress on bearings, E-sync hubs are made to roll smoother and longer. The E-sync’s four pawls also provide a quick 8.18° of engagement. S2 wheelsets with E-sync hubs are perfect for anyone looking for low maintenance and high performance. Like all Stan’s wheels, the Crest S2 carries on a tradition of serviceability by using traditional J-bend spokes that are readily available. To make life even easier, matched Crest S2 wheelsets all use a single spoke length and their endcaps are readily available and compatible with previous Neo hubs.
