ENVE G23 R45D 24/24

Why We Make This

Gravel riding isn’t road riding, you know? Where you might turn the stiffness knob up to 11 on a road wheel, a fast gravel wheel wants to be a bit more forgiving. ENVE made the G23 with a focus on comfort and climbing efficiency. It’ll take tires from 33mm all the way out to 45mm, so it’s pretty adaptable to applications like racing and/or long-distance efforts. 

Why You Want It 

You spend a lot of time off the pavement, and you’re looking for all the ways to eke some more speed out of your bike. Maybe you race. Maybe you just like the feel of flying along a dirt road or bobbing your way up a hill climb like a pro. 

We pair ENVE’s go-to gravel rim with our R45 Centerlock™ hubs, a lightweight hub body with our legendary, made-in-house bearings. 45-points of simultaneous engagement mean more of your power gets to the ground, and your traction is better. These hubs just roll better, last longer, and look better 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.
