The race-proven Stan's Crest MK3 wheel is an excellent choice for today’s more demanding trails and XC courses. These wheels are incredibly strong for their weight. The 23mm internal width means they are perfect for tyres between 1.9-2.3 inches wide, and they benefit from Stans BST technology which locks tyre beads in place. If you are looking for a super lightweight wheel to give you that extra advantage then this could just be the one.

It is important to note that these wheels have a max rider weight of 86kg.
