Product Information

"Crest" is the name Stan gave one of his original rim designs, and today it belongs to one of the most advanced rims made. Built of 6069 alloy and featuring a reinforced spoke bed and welded seam, Crest MK4 rim is made to handle both the higher pressures of 40mm gravel tires, as well as the lower pressures of 2.3" mountain bike tires. The asymmetric design of the Crest MK4 rim improves spoke angle to create a stronger wheel, while still offering the easiest to inflate and most reliable airtight tubeless seal found only on Stan's patented Bead Socket Technology rims. Built for people who ride, by people who ride, the Crest MK4 wheelset relies on the proven strength of traditional J-bend spokes. As part of Stan's commitment to make easily serviceable wheels a rider can own for many years, all MK4 series wheels that are the same diameter share a single, very common, spoke length. Front and rear and both sides all use a single length, making replacing damaged spokes as easy as possible.
