Wheel Build Feature: Ibis S35 Carbon Rims with Chris King Hubs

Ibis is out to prove that a 35mm internal carbon rim can be both incredibly strong and impressively lightweight. The Ibis S35 Carbon wheel rims are an excellent choice if you want to run wider tires (2.35–2.8”) without making any compromises. Their unique Toughened Hybrid Carbon layup allows the bead walls to stay more flexible and resilient while the rest of the rim remains stiff and supportive where it matters most.

Thanks to their wider profile, the S35 rims also allow for a greater spoke hole offset. This helps achieve more balanced spoke tension and a solid, durable wheel structure—ideal for aggressive riding and long-term reliability. Plus, Ibis backs these carbon rims with a lifetime warranty and a no-fault crash replacement policy, so you can ride with confidence.

Paired with a stunning set of Chris King Boost Centerlock hubs in Matte Midnight, this custom wheel build is ready to handle just about anything. From big-mile days to brake-burning descents, these wheels are built for performance.

To tie it all together, we used Sapim Race double butted spokes and Secure Lock PolyAx brass nipples—a reliable combo for a strong and serviceable wheelset. Whether you're pushing the limits or cruising your favorite trail, this setup won’t leave you stranded.
