ZTR Flow EX 26in Wheelset - Discontinued Decal

Every company is constantly churning out new products, more often than not because they have to, not because anything significant has actually been changed. Kudos to Stan's NoTubes, then, for keeping the ZTR Flow EX Wheelset largely unchanged, and making only small modifications that actually matter.

Of the few changes Stan's made to the Flow EX, the most significant is a larger width, which improves aerodynamics and increases tire-to-ground contact for improved grip. The sidewalls and spoke beds have also been thickened up to increase durability. As the final improvement, Stan's redesigned its Bead Socket Technology, which makes the new rim more secure while also boosting tire volume, grip, and handling in corners.

The rest of the ZTR Flow EX is the same as it ever was. Tough 6061 aluminum alloy takes plenty of hits without collapsing, the steel spokes are strong, light, and reliable, and the 7075 alloy axles (a thru-axle in the front and quick-release in the back) provide a strong connection between your wheels and frame. The freehub is made of aluminum and the silky-smooth cartridge bearings from chromoly to provide nearly frictionless rotation. And, since it's Stan's, the ZTR Flow EX is all set up to be run tubeless—just pour in some sealant and go.
