Ad popped up on Pinkbike with details on Ibis' new rims/wheels:

https://www.ibiscycles.com/wheels/

Looks like they have partnered up with Stans to licence their BST tech and produce a new S range. When you click on a link it asks you to log in.

Presume more details coming soon.

Be interested to see the weights of the wheels. Love my Arch MK3 rims, been out of the Ibis family for getting on 5 years but the new Ripley and these have me tempted to make a come back!

... Video is great! Weight is around 1500 (27.5/28 inner) 1600 (27.5/35 and 29/28 inner) to 1700 (29/35 inner) in carbon, depending on hubs.

Good chance it will, especially if the frame has not arrived yet. Ask your lbs to request them. My Ripley V4 showed up with S35 rims, and I got it before the official release of the new rims. (I was expecting 942s)

I have ripmo on order for about two months now with 942 rims. Maybe I will give the shop a call. Not a big deal to me but current stuff is always better for resale.

From what I understand, the S series are currently in stock and shipping with logo hubs, but are not yet available with Industry Nine hubs.

I order my 942s with logo hubs. I plan to install an onyx rear hub. I hear they have a new lighter hub coming out soon.

The new Onyx hub can be ordered now in specific colors and 32H.

I wish I knew. Just bought a ripmo. Wanted the hydra hub though, so didn’t order wheel upgrade.

Sounds like ibis has been shipping their i9 wheels with the hydra hubs for a little while now.

No no, you got that backwards. Big S rips off other peoples stuff, then settles out of court.

Damn! oh well. I guess I get an extra set of wheels now, since I can't pay upgrade price for it. Their website said torch, at the time of purchase (end of April).

I was told they won't be available until July. Where are you getting this info from?

Some one posted on this forum that their new ibis build came with the hydra hubs installed. No idea if it was true.

I did not think much of it. Maybe the bike was back ordered anyway and they ment or were hoping it would come with them. I am not a huge i9 fan and just moved on.
