ENVE Composites launches all-carbon downhill rim
This could be sweet!
OGDEN, UT (BRAIN) Feb 16, 18:21 MT —Enve Composites is introducing what it says is the industry’s first all-carbon downhill rim.
The Santa Cruz Syndicate team has been racing ENVE’s DH-specific prototypes since September 2009.
The company says the new design offers “vast increases in durability over the traditional alloy offerings on the market.”
Top pro Steve Peat raced the same pair of race wheels with the rim design for the entire 2011 season, the company said.
The ENVE DH rim is 31 mm deep and features a 21mm inner bead-to-bead width. They are available in 26-inch, 32-hole configuration and weigh 475 grams per rim. Retail is set at US $999 per rim, and complete pre‐built wheel using DT Swiss or Chris King hubs start at $2,750.
