While fat bikes have recently become popular among the craft brew crowd, those of us who occasionally supplement our IPA intake with hydration mix and enduro laps are getting a bit more mileage and a bit more mph out of plus size tires. The 29in Stan's NoTubes Hugo 52 Boost Wheelset steps in as the first plus size 29er with Stan's tubeless reliability, built to roll fast through everything from freshly groomed trails to fields of fluffy powder and not so fluffy fields of rock gardens.

Stan's has built its brand on providing riders with an enjoyable, confident tubeless experience.

The Stan's No Tubes Hugo 52 29in Boost Wheelset is compatible with 27mm rim tape and will accommodate tire widths ranging from 2. 8 to 4in with a maximum tire pressure of 30 PSI. The set comes packaged with quick release end caps, skewers, and thru ...
