Stan's is known for its range of tubeless tyre accessories and wheels having recently launched the Flow MK4 wheelset at Eurobike. While the wheels have a subtle aesthetic, it's on the inside where things get really interesting.

That's because they're built with Stan's brand new M-pulse magnetic pawl freehubs with 1.66-degree engagement. Thanks to the pawls with Neodymium magnets, it's said that the freehub provides a much stronger and more reliable engagement as the pawls are pulled into the hub's teeth, rather than pushed in with springs and there's virtually no resistance when coasting. Of course, there are also no springs to break. Stan's says that each detail of the M-pulse hub was engineered to eliminate any weaknesses found in other designs.
On the subject of hubs, these wheels come with top-quality double-row Enduro bearings.

The 6069 alloy, low profile rims get a 30mm internal width that has been chosen especially to optimise the tyre shape for traction and control. This wheelset will happily seat 2.3in to 2.6in rubber. The rims also employ a patented BST-Asymmetric shape which promises to create the most reliable tubeless seal.
As for the spokes, they're of the readily available J-bend variety and they're sat in reinforced spoke beds which is combined with the offset drilling of the asymmetrical design, boosting durability.
The Stan's Flow MK4 wheels are available with Microspline, HG, or SRAM XD freehubs and can accommodate either Centerlock or 6-bolt brake rotors. The wheels come pre-fitted with tubeless tape.

When I was 17 I wanted to scratch vinyls on Technics SL-1200 MK4. Now I am 37 and want to shred trails on Stan's Flow Mk4.
Went to do my first MTB ride since Covid and found me rear axle has seized up proper, the wheels have been threatening another failure ever since the last axle sheared down the middle - would love to win these and get myself trail ready again!
Yes please would go lovely on my Mondraker.
Flow this way please
You can't beat the system, go with the Flow!
I would love a new pair.. never been lucky enough to have some ..and they would look great

I ride through my landscape
A spot without tarmac
Focused in my progress
Two wheels…the feedback!
The mud, wind, rocks and sound
All cherished in my mind
Tyres squirming on the berm
Not at all a grind!

However good these wheels are, I'm not sure I want Stan's Flow all over my bike, no matter how many Marks he's had. Suppose to be good for the hair though.
Yes please these would look awesome on my bike.
Go on go on go on I will take them
Yowzer! What a great prize. They'd certainly look rather fetching on my hardtail.
Giz em pleasey
Awesome prize, out of my price range but would so love to win 😀
Lovely. Could never justify it to my partner but very very nice.
I was going to ask Stan about the wheels, but I found out they like to keep a low profile. So is asked the wheel directly. It Spokes for itself. I asked the wheel for some personal info. It had me at Sapim Double Square Alloy Black nipples!
Some great looking wheels, Love to try these
