ENVE G27 R45D 24/24

Why We Make This 

If the ENVE G23 is their all-purpose gravel offering, the G27 is the specialist. Its 27.” diameter is for bike-packing or other multi-day adventures. It gives smaller riders a proportional wheelset for all their regular gravel pursuits. 

Why You Want It 

You’re a rider of smaller stature but great ambition. Or, you like to cover a lot of ground on your bike-packing adventures. ENVE made the G27 with a focus on comfort and climbing efficiency. It’ll take tires from 42mm all the way out to 2.5”, so it’s the right move for bike-packing or rough touring operations. It offers a beguiling blend of lightness, performance and comfort. 

We pair this special 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.
