Stan\u2019s NoTubes is proud to introduce their lightest and most advanced carbon racing wheelset, the Podium SRD. As the first wheelset to be released as part of the Stan\u2019s Racing Development line of products, the Podium SRD builds on the legendary racing heritage of Stan\u2019s classic Podium and Valor wheelsets. During testing this summer, the Podium SRD wheelset has already won the grueling B.C. Bike Race and the U.S. Marathon National Championships.<\/p>\n

The all new rim shape of the Podium SRDs features a 23mm internal width and lower profile sidewalls that when combined with a new carbon layup process, creates a sub-1,300g 29er wheelset with outstanding acceleration and impact absorbing ability. The rim shape of the Podium SRD represents the next stage of Stan\u2019s Radial Impact Absorbing Carbon Technology (RiACT).<\/p>\n

Although the 300g Podium SRD rim is the lightest carbon rim that Stan\u2019s has ever made, it\u2019s every bit as strong as Stan\u2019s acclaimed Valor and 15% stiffer laterally, thanks in big part to the evolution of our impact absorbing technology. The new RiACT rim shape and lay up is able to deflect radially 11% more than the Valor, which translates into fewer pinch flats, added durability and less rolling resistance.<\/p>\n

Podium SRD wheelsets are laced with Sapim\u2019s Laser ultralight spokes and Sapim Secure Lock alloy nipples. They include Stan\u2019s Neo Ultimate hubs with updated Speedsync freehub. Three bearings spaced for superior durability and six pawls engaging in sets of three ensure the Speedsync\u2019s long life and near-instantaneous five-degree engagement.<\/p>\n

Podium SRD wheelsets will be assembled at Stan\u2019s New York facility and will be available in 29\u201d wheel size for both standard and Boost axle configurations, with additional configurations (such as Cannondale Lefty). Buyers may customize decal color and specify Shimano or SRAM XD freehubs.<\/p>\n

The Podium SRD wheelset will be available in early September 2017 for $1,995 MSRP.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
