Enve WS 65mm Disc FDN 12/142 XDR CL Wheel (Pair)

The ENVE 65 offers incredible value and is equipped with ENVE technology, such as wind tunnel-derived shapes, tuned carbon layups, and integrated puncture protection. The sum of these elements not only enables faster riding, but also provides a better overall riding experience.

For fast group rides, triathlons, and setting personal records, the ENVE 65 is ready.

Intended Use: Triathlon and Time Trial
Internal Rim Width: 21 mm

FOUNDATION AERO TECHNOLOGY

WIND TUNNEL TESTED, REAL-WORLD PROVEN

Like our SES wheel family, the Foundation Collection and its ENVE 65 were developed and tested in the Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 wind tunnel to deliver world-class aerodynamic performance in real-world conditions. Unlike other wheel brands that only test isolated wheels at elite speeds of 30 mph/48 km/h, ENVE develops and tests wheels in the frame at multiple speeds ranging from 20 mph/32 km/h to 30 mph/48 km/h. These tests, though longer and more costly, ensure that the ENVE 65 delivers performance benefits for cyclists of all levels.

TUBELESS TO WIN

RIDE FASTER, FLAT LESS

Tubeless is the future, and the future is now. The benefits of tubeless for road cycling include:

• Lower Rolling Resistance: By eliminating the inner tube, the friction between the tire and tube is removed, allowing the tire to roll, flex, and conform to the road more efficiently.
• Fewer Flats, Ride More: Flats are a real killer. With some sealant, you can eliminate almost all punctures caused by a stray thorn or debris.
• Run the Perfect Pressure: Tubeless means you can run the optimal pressure to maximize comfort, traction, and rolling efficiency.
• Hookless/Right Sidewall Design: Tubeless performance depends on a light fitment by pressure between the tire and the rim at the bead seat diameter. ENVE chooses a hookless rim profile because it ensures that the critical tolerance of the rim at the bead seat diameter is both consistent and precise. In short, the hookless system is chosen to provide a safer, more reliable, and ultimately better tire mounting.

The ENVE 65 is optimized for use with tubeless tires of 25mm or wider.

WIDE HOOKLESS BEAD

PROTECTION AGAINST POTHOLES AND IMPACTS

Potholes and unexpected impacts are part of cycling, but they don’t have to ruin your ride. The ENVE 65 features the patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, which is a design element located at the rim’s leading edge that dissipates impact energy and reduces the risk of pinch flats, whether you’re running tubed or tubeless tires.

MOLDED SPOKE HOLE

PATENT #US 8,313,155

ENVE’s patented process of molding spoke holes and valve stems allows for stronger, lighter rims. Since carbon fiber gains strength from continuous fibers, ENVE routes the fibers around the hole without cutting them, increasing the strength at each spoke hole. This technique pays off in the final product by allowing for a lighter spoke face while also improving rim strength.

Thanks to this process, our spoke holes can handle higher spoke tensions, significantly reducing the risk of spoke pull-through and the need for constant wheel truing. Strong, lightweight, and maintenance-free.

ENVE FOUNDATION ROAD HUB

MORE SPEED, LESS MAINTENANCE

Using ENVE’s basic hub technology, the Foundation Road Hub delivers a high-performance, maintenance-free riding experience.

• Flange spacing and hub shell geometry designed to maximize performance measures such as wheel and drivetrain stiffness
• The ID360 40t engagement mechanism provides efficient, responsive power transfer
• High-quality NTN sealed, full-contact steel bearings, maintenance-free
• Perfect Preload™
