ENVE Gravel Foundation AG28 650b Disc Wheelset

ENVE Gravel Foundation AG28 650b Disc Wheelset

With a comprehensive collection of design attributes, advanced materials and the highest construction standards, the ENVE Gravel Foundation AG28 650b Disc Wheelset grants a lofty performance-to-price ratio and is ideal for the most demanding gravel adventuring and racing.

The rims are realised from a refined grade of carbon that infuses high lateral stiffness and robustness while keeping the overall weight to a minimum. A shallow 21mm deep profile has been utilised within the design of the rim to afford improved vibration damping and compliance over the harshest of surfaces. The resilience offered by this shallower rim cross-section is complemented by ENVE’s Anti-Pinch Flat technology that widens the rim beads and manipulates their carbon layups to dissipate peak impact energy and reduce the incidence of pinch punctures. Moulded spoke holes, as opposed to drilled, further increase the wheelset’s strength by permitting continuous carbon fibre orientation around the entire rim circumference.

A slightly smaller 650b rim size mates perfectly with very wide gravel tyres via its tubeless-ready, hookless format to give quicker handling and heightened traction across the heaviest and most technical terrain. Burly and reliable ENVE Alloy Foundation hubs are added to the build and are linked to the rims via Sapim CX Sprint spokes laced in efficient and dependable two-cross patterns.
