Stans No Tubes Valor Team 29-Inch Wheelset

Lighter and stronger than aluminum rims, the Valor’s carbon rim lay-up is engineered to absorb radial vibrations and impacts adding suspension to a bike, making the ZTR Valor Carbon the most advanced wheelset NoTubes has ever produced. Non-compliant heavy rims that deliver a harsh, abusive ride have become the standard from most companies producing carbon rims. The ZTR Valor utilizes a construction that is both elastic and strong. Stan's NoTubes has constructed a lightweight carbon fiber rim design not just to be stronger than aluminum but also to perform better in real world riding conditions.

Technology

Stan's No Tubes RiACT Rim Design

Everyone knows carbon fiber can create a stiff wheel. We knew it could do much more. The carbon fiber rims on our CB7 series wheelsets are 30% stiffer laterally than our legendary aluminum rims, but the key to their outstanding ride quality is Radial Impact Absorbing Carbon Technology. Obsessive attention to the shape of the rim and a proprietary carbon fiber lay-up process lets us create carbon rims that absorb radial vibrations and impacts while maintaining lateral stiffness, keeping your wheels driving constantly forward with less energy loss than other carbon rims. Originally developed for or highly successful Valor rim, RiACT offers added strength, less rolling resistance, and the best ride of any carbon rim. On our Podium SRD wheelset, RiACT lets us create a rim that's lighter than the competition while also being stronger. Our carbon rims can deflect 7-10mm without damage or pinch flatting.

Smooth is fast. If there's one thing the overwhelming success of our tubeless technology has demonstrated, that's it. The more forward momentum your wheel and tire can maintain without deflecting off the ground and sending your energy upward and backward, the faster you roll. Our RiACT rims allow the wheel system to absorb more, offering levels of vibration damping and impact absorption never possible before. RiACT lets Stan's Podium SRD, Crest CB7, and Arch CB7 rims and wheelsets roll faster and last longer.

Stan's No Tubes Neo Hubs

Our original Neo hub has evolved to be stronger and more reliable than ever. The additional stress of larger cassette cogs, more capable bikes, and even more challenging trails led us to create the Neo with Durasync and Neo Ultimate with Speedsync.

From its debut in 2015, the Neo has performed at the highest levels of racing in the most extreme conditions, but constant quality feedback from our teams helped us make it even better. Both Neo and Neo Ultimate now feature triple freehub bearings for increased axle stability to handle even greater vertical and torsional loads. The Neo Ultimate with Speedsync maintains the nearly instant 5-degree engagement of 6 pawls engaging three at a time. The Neo’s Durasync system engages all 6 pawls simultaneously for unrivaled durability.
