ENVE 45 Foundation Innerdrive Disc Brake Wheels

Description

Wind-Tunnel Tested, Real-World Proven

The ENVE 45 Foundation Innerdrive Wheelset is a modern carbon road wheel in every way. Riders with inclinations toward racing and hard solo efforts or those looking for the road lost and forgotten will find the dynamic properties the modern road rider needs. Built upon over a decade of carbon wheel crafting experience, the Foundation 45 brings ENVE knowledge and technology to the masses. Blended aero properties, tubeless compatibility, and pinch flat protection for the rider looking to test the waters on carbon wheel performance. ENVE Worthy, and priced to provide the foundation for confident riding through performance crafted carbon in the US.

Like the SES wheel family, the Foundation Collection and ENVE 45 were tested and developed at the Mercedes Benz Formula One wind-tunnel to deliver best-in-class real world aero performance. Unlike other wheel brands who only test isolated wheels at elite speeds of 30mph/48kph, ENVE develops and tests wheels in-frame at multiple speeds ranging from 20mph/32kph to 30mph/48kph. This testing, while more time consuming and expensive, ensures that the ENVE 45 delivers performance advantages to riders of all abilities.

Wide Hookless, Tubeless Beads For Speed & Safety

Tubeless performance depends on the tire maintaining a light press-fit with the rim on the bead seat diameter. ENVE chooses a hookless tubeless rim profile as it allows the rim's critical tolerance at the bead seat diameter to be both consistent and accurate. In short, hookless is chosen to deliver a more safe, reliable, and ultimately proper tire fitment. Ultimately tubeless means you can run the pressure you want to maximize comfort, traction, and rolling efficiency.

Potholes and unforeseen impacts are part of life, but that doesn't mean they need to ruin your ride. The ENVE 45 features ENVE's patent pending Wide Hookless Bead which is a design element at the leading edge of the rim that dissipates impact energy and reduces the likelihood of pinch flatting your tubed or tubeless tire.

ENVE Innerdrive

INNERDRIVE™ represents the pinnacle of bicycle drive mechanisms. Oversized steel ratchets are positioned inboard and over the bearings to reduce stress on the axle and bearings while ensuring reliable engagement and longevity.

Like all their rims, the ENVE 45 is handmade and assembled in their Ogden, Utah based, state-of-the-art carbon wheel manufacturing facility. The ENVE 45 is covered under ENVE's Lifetime Incident Protection program and 5 Year Factory Warranty.
