Stan's No Tubes Crest MK4 Front Wheel 29" Tubeless-Ready Gravel XC

The Stan's No Tubes Crest MK4 Front 29 15x110 wheelset exemplifies precision engineering tailored for riders who prioritise lightweight performance combined with exceptional durability. Crafted to excel on gravel and cross-country terrains, this wheelset features a robust 6069 aluminum alloy rim with a 25mm internal width, accommodating a broad spectrum of tyre sizes—from 40mm gravel tyres up to 2.3-inch mountain bike tyres. This versatility ensures riders can confidently tackle diverse trail conditions without compromising strength or stability. The asymmetric rim design optimises spoke angle, enhancing overall wheel strength, while Stan’s patented Bead Socket Technology guarantees an industry-leading airtight tubeless seal for superior ride quality.

Designed with maintenance efficiency in mind, the Crest MK4 utilises traditional J-bend spokes with a uniform spoke length across both front and rear wheels, simplifying repairs and ensuring long-term reliability.

Constructed from CNC-machined 7075 alloy and equipped with shielded Enduro bearings, these hubs provide smooth, fast rolling performance while withstanding the rigours of demanding gravel and cross-country environments.

Compatibility is a key strength of the Crest MK4, supporting Shimano Micro Spline, HG, and SRAM XDR freehub bodies, alongside both 6-bolt and Centerlock brake systems.
