Description
The Enve G23 Carbon Gravel Wheelset is engineered for riders who demand precision and resilience across diverse terrains. Whether you’re tackling rugged gravel roads, technical singletrack, or pavement stretches during endurance adventures, these wheels deliver a seamless blend of speed and durability. Built around Enve’s featherlight 700c tubeless-compatible carbon rim—just 25mm deep—the G23 excels in climbing with minimal rotational weight while maintaining stability at high speeds. Its patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead technology eliminates pinch flats even at low tire pressures, giving you confidence to push limits on rough trails or loose surfaces. Designed for serious gravel cyclists seeking all-day comfort and performance, this wheelset pairs perfectly with wide gravel tires (up to 45c), optimizing grip and traction without sacrificing agility.
Key Features:
– Lightweight Performance: The ultra-low rim weight ensures effortless acceleration and climbing prowess, ideal for long-distance gravel grinders or XC-style trail riding.
– Tubeless Ready: Presta valve compatibility simplifies setup for seamless integration with tires from 33c to 45c, enhancing puncture resistance and traction in unpredictable conditions.
– Sturdy Build: 24 spokes front and rear provide reliable strength without excess weight, making these wheels equally at home on pavement or unyielding dirt paths.
– Disc Brake Optimized: Center-Lock disc hubs ensure consistent braking power in wet or dusty environments, critical for control during steep descents or technical sections.
– Universal Fit: Compatible with both road and mountain bike setups (ISO 622/700c/29”), the G23 adapts to hybrid bikes, adventure rigs, or dedicated gravel builds with ease.
Why Choose the Enve G23?
Compared to competitors like the DT Swiss GR 1600 or Mavic Allroad SLR, the G23 stands out with its patented bead design that reduces flat risks while maintaining a lightweight profile. Its 23mm internal width strikes an optimal balance between tire volume and aerodynamics, outperforming narrower rims on loose gravel yet staying agile on pavement. The 12mm thru-axle system (100mm front/142mm rear) offers superior stiffness for power transfer during sprints or climbs, while SRAM XDR cassette compatibility caters to riders favoring wide-range gearing setups common in endurance racing or backcountry exploration.
Whether you’re chasing podium finishes in gravel races or conquering multi-day off-road epics, the G23’s versatile design meets the demands of all-terrain adventurers seeking a wheelset that’s as tough as it is fast.
