Ibis is no stranger to carbon fiber, and we've seen the brand's prowess shine across both frames and wheels for years, but with the progressive nature of its engineers, it seems striving to improve is never forgotten. And it's easy to see that drive propelling forward with Ibis' all new S35 29in I9 Carbon Boost Wheelset that collaborates with the wheel legends at Stan's No Tubes to reduce beadwall heights in order to elevate strength, and pack in BST technology to match the shape of your tire's bead for a safer, more secure interface. They are built for all-mountain and enduro sleds alike, with a lofty 35mm inner diameter ideal for accommodating beefy tires that range from 2. 35in to 2. 8in, so you can drop the pressure, and load up on traction. All of this, paired with Toughened Hybrid Carbon layup and Industry Nine's new ultra-quick actuating Hydra hubs make these hoops eager to tackle fast miles of trail with unwavering power and stiffness. To start the rims out, Ibis refined its carbon layup to elevate strength beyond wheels the brand has built in the past. To do this, a combination of resin materials were used in the carbon to get the right balance of feel and strength. Part of that secret formula packs in Toughened Resin that is used in the beadwall, allowing the beadwalls to flex a bit and handle impacts thanks to its stiffer properties that hold shape through the rubble. The toughened carbon fiber is paired with asymmetric technology that offsets the wheel's spoke holes in order to improve the bracing angle of the spokes, and with the huge 35-millimeter internals you'll notice that the offset is more drastic than you may have spotted before in narrower rims. This large offset enables each side of the wheel to be tensioned to nearly identical tolerances, resulting in a wheel that's not only stiffer, but also more durable when the rubber hits the dirt. One of the many things we appreciate about Ibis Cycles is the brands ability to recognize where other br...   read more
