2017 Ibis 738 Aluminum Boost Wheelset 110 Front & 148 Rear

2017 Ibis 738 Aluminum Boost Wheelset 110 Front & 148 Rear

DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
NOW IN ALUMINUM 738 & 938
The new aluminum wheelsets from Ibis come in both 27.5" and 29" diameters. Both feature 38mm outer and 34mm inner widths. In other words, wide.
The Ibis aluminum wheels are available in Boost spacing. If there is enough demand, we will make them in 100/142 axle spacing. Let us know!

RIM
The rim is our own proprietary tubeless asymmetric profile, is welded 6066 aluminum, black anodized and laser etched (with lasers!).

HUBS
The wheels feature laser etched Ibis hubs with Enduro bearings, and a 36t ratchet with 4 pawls that yields a 10º engagement.
They are available with Shimano or SRAM drivers. Hubs are made to our specification in a small shop in Taiwan. Replacement parts are available on the Ibis webstore.
