ENVE Twenty6 XC Carbon Wheelset
It's not surprising that the Enve Twenty6 XC Carbon Wheelset is lightweight, but you might not expect the durability. Enve uses proprietary molding techniques to create full-carbon rims with strength and stiffness that bests most alloy rims. One ride will quickly convince you that carbon fiber provides the best platform for high-performance training and racing.
The Enve XC is the lightest of their mountain wheelsets, but they're feathery without being wimpy. On the contrary, the XC Carbon Clinchers can handle the toughest requirements of mountain biking. That's because the folks at Enve use a special bladder system that allows them to increase the heat and pressure while molding the carbon. That packs the layers tighter, improving the rim surface and adding strength and balance. It also means they can be much more precise with the amount of material they use to avoid adding excess weight.
The XC Carbon Clincher Rims are made with another proprietary Enve design -- uninterrupted carbon filaments thanks to no post-cure drilling, bonding, or machine processes. In fact, the spoke and valve stem holes are created in-place during the molding process. The greatest benefit of all of this hard work on the front end is a final structure with intact and continuous carbon filaments. Long fibers distribute stress loads over their entire length -- the longer the fiber, the greater the distribution of the stress. This is advantageous and their wheels are able to exceed spoke tension capabilities of other carbon fiber wheels because of it. In effect, higher spoke tension is better for the spokes, and if the rim can handle the loads, the wheel is more durable.
The Enve Twenty6 XC Carbon Wheelset is built with 32 hole DT Swiss hubs laced with DT Swiss Aerolite stainless steel spokes. After all, it would be a shame to pair these top-shelf rims with anything other than the best components. Enve wheels are designed to be used with tubeless tires. The inside rim dimension and shape meets UST standards to ensure faultless tire installation and tubeless performance. They come with two UST-style valve stems and a roll of tape to seal both rims. The rims measure 32mm deep and 24mm wide.
Note: The rims are covered under the 5 year manufacturer warranty. The hubs and spokes are not covered under the ENVE warranty. We are only able to ship to this product to addresses within the United States.
