In 2019, ten national champions were crowned riding on Stan's NoTubes wheels! We could not be more proud of the effort that our athletes put in to make these incredible results possible. In an effort to highlight the dedication and discipline it takes to win at the highest level, we've put together a series of puzzles to provide some entertainment...

We've seen some pretty sweet bikes roll through the Stan's offices. There's been plenty of baller trail bikes, cross country rippers, road and gravel shredders and even a few downhill rigs, but we've never taken a close look at a motorcycle that can carry a bike to the trailhead. Aaron Snyder, one of our long time customer service reps, set...

Not many professional athletes have the opportunity to grow with their sport the way that Hans Rey has. Having spent over 25 as a professional mountain biker, Hans has been around for nearly every major technological advancement our sport has seen. We thought that it would be fun to compare Hans' bike from 1995 to his current setup. Enjoy!

Hans Rey is no stranger to two-wheeled adventures in exotic destinations. He's explored Los Angelos, traveled across Italy and even summited two of Africa's highest mountains - Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro. In his most recent adventure, Hans decided to take on Hong Kong with fellow Stan's athlete Martin Maes. While the idea of two of our most prolific riders venturing...

After an exciting 2019, during which...

Kyle Strait is no stranger to big hits. Having spent most of his life going big on two wheels, Kyle knows how to properly crash. During his second run of the 2019 edition of Rampage, Kyle executed a textbook bail in the middle of a back flip suicide no hander. Thankfully Kyle walked away unscathed and had this to say...

Another Red Bull Rampage is in the history books. The riding was mind-blowing, the marketing was intense, and the technology used to bring us the event was even more impressive (OK, yeah, the power went out once, but when you can host one of the world's premier bike events in the desert miles from anywhere without any hiccups, then you...

Stan's NoTubes rims will be under more riders than ever at this year's Red Bull Rampage. As the riders hope for calm winds and quality practice time here on the last day before the event, we're taking a look at the bikes of Cam Zink, Kyle Strait, Kurt Sorge, and Reed Boggs. A total of four riders will be using...

If all goes according to plan, all three riders on the Pivot-Maxxis pb Stan’s NoTubes Team will line up for the 2020 UCI Cyclocross World Championships in Dübendorf, Switzerland next February.

The first time that Catharine Pendrel went to Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada for the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, she wasn’t racing. Instead, she was there to spectate after a seven-hour long road trip from where she was studying at university. At the time, she probably never would have guessed that she’d be back to the very same venue 21 years...

Every year in late August, the world’s best cross country and downhill racers come together to compete at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. For North American racers, that usually means traveling to another continent, often many time zones away. But this year, they’ll get to race much closer to home with the Worlds happening in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec, Canada. U.S...

After getting a firsthand taste last year of just how tough it is for the average joe to make it in the pro ranks, Adam Price, aka The Privateer, is at it again, this time with more experience, fitness and skills. 2019 is the make-or-break season for the 28-year-old enduro racer from southwest England who now calls Canada home. Stan’s...

Jill Kintner is no stranger to custom builds. Her latest project named the “Queen of Hearts" could go down as one the best looking bikes ever assembled. For Crankworx Whistler's Pumptrack Challenge, the 2018 Queen of Crankworx worked with Made Rad by Tony on this one of a kind build. We'll let the bike speak for itself, but it should be noted...

Surprising many, when 2016 rolled around he decided to shift his focus to endurance racing. It's now obvious that he made the right call. After quickly working his way to the top of the endurance racing scene...

Training as a pro mountain biker in Montana is a little different than in other places. After all, in most other places you don’t have to worry about possible encounters with grizzly bears and mountain lions. We caught up with reigning, five-time U.S. Marathon Mountain Bike National Champion Rose Grant, 36, of the Stan’s-Pivot Team to talk more about how...
