In 2001, Stans developed a method to replace inner tubes with a liquid sealant to repair punctures instantly. With the removal of the inner tube, off-road riders also gained increased traction, control, and comfort. Channelling knowledge accumulated from sealing conventional rims for tubeless use led the brand to develop its own line of rims and wheels explicitly designed for tubeless use. For over two decades, Stans products have set entirely new performance standards while creating new product categories, redefining what others thought was possible.
Riders and racers around the world rely on the tubeless technology Stan developed, and Stans No Tube sealant has been honoured as one of the most important innovations in the history of cycling. “The First Name in Tubeless” is more than just marketing to Stans – today, the team at Stans No Tubes continues to lead and innovate all aspects of tubeless technologies in the founder's name.
Innovation will always be the driving force behind Stans. Why? Because like us, they ride bikes. The Stans team ride bikes to test new designs, refine them, and then test some more. But mostly they ride bikes for the ideas. Every innovative product Stans has created has started out as an idea the team had while out on a ride. There’s something about riding a bike that makes you want to go even further the next time, even faster. There’s something about riding a bike that makes you push the limits. And that’s what it’s all about – and is why Stans is the clear market leader.
