Why We Make This
What’s more aero than aero? Deeper section rims, that’s what. We make this wheelset, because some of you want cut through the wind like a Ginsu through a tomato. You want to rail a dirt road descent like an osprey diving for a fat bass. These metaphors are inelegant though. This wheelset is refined, and serious, and very, very fast.
Why You Want It
You want the fastest, most versatile wheel we make. You care a lot about aerodynamics. ENVE answers that call with 50/56mm deep rims built wide to take a 30mm tire. They’re fast, but they’re also stable. They’re stiff, but they’re also rugged.
Our R45 Centerlock™ hubs pair a lightweight hub body with our legendary, made-in-house bearings. They give you 45-points of simultaneous engagement, and that means more of your power gets to the ground and your traction is better. These hubs just roll better, last longer, and looks way more handsome than anything else out there. The stiffness of our one-piece axle translates to laser-precise bike handling.
Our bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e. service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use.
This wheelset comes with the legendary angry-bee sound and you can choose from a bunch of sharp hub colors, including basic black.
