ENVE 45 Road Wheelset: Precision Engineering for Modern Cyclists
Crafted for competitive riders and endurance enthusiasts alike, the ENVE 45 delivers aerodynamic dominance paired with unmatched durability. Its 21mm internal rim width optimizes tire volume (25c+) for superior cornering grip and comfort on mixed surfaces—from smooth asphalt to unpredictable gravel patches.
Key Innovations:
– Foundation Line Aero Technology: Reduces drag by 12% compared to standard box-section rims (lab-tested at 28mph), while maintaining stability in crosswinds up to 25mph
– Hookless Bead Design: Eliminates pinch flats and resists deformation from potholes (tested to withstand 800+ lbs lateral force)
– Tubeless-Ready Optimization: Features self-sealing capabilities and reduced rolling resistance (up to 3% faster than clincher setups)
Ideal For:
✔ Time trial specialists
✔ Century ride enthusiasts
✔ Climbers seeking lightweight (1,590g front/rear pair) yet torsion-resistant performance
