CycleOps Enve SES 6.7 Tubular Wheelset with Joule GPS

CycleOps' Enve SES 6.7 Tubular Wheelset incorporates Enve's wind tunnel-developed front/rear specific wheels and PowerTap's accurate power data-collecting rear hub technology all wrapped into one seamless system. In other words, it's a fast, accurate package put forth by two of the leaders in power training and composite manufacturing. Welcome to the new generation of CycleOps.
The rims of this wheelset are identical to those found on the Enve Smart System 6.7 carbon tubulars, developed as a collaboration between Simon Smart and Enve Composites. Enve used its most sophisticated technology and engineering techniques to create this fast, stiff, and aerodynamic wheelset. The 6.7's aerodynamic design starts with the size differential of the wheels. Enve accounted for the different behaviors of front and rear wheels and designed the 6.7s with a front wheel that's 60mm deep and 26mm wide, while the rear wheel is 70mm deep and 24mm wide. Accordingly, the front wheel's shallow profile and wide stance decrease drag and improve stability in windy conditions. On the other hand, the rear wheel's depth decreases drag because stability is less affected at the aft position of the bike. But, the SES 6.7 tubular is not only aerodynamic, but it's also lightweight, stiff, and strong. The Enve SES series boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio on the market, and this is due in part to Enve's patented process of molding in spoke holes, nipple seats, and valve stem holes. This means that when you combine the hand-built Enve carbon tubular hoops with the CycleOps PowerTap G3 Wireless Hub and a sub-100 gram CycleOps PowerTap Front Hub, it adds up to one of the lightest and stiffest carbon tubular wheelsets ever produced.
On CycleOps' end, it completely overhauled the design of previous PowerTap models, while also improving upon multiple aspects ranging from rigidity to functionality. The new PowerTap G3 Rear Hub is a power meter on a diet. An 80-gram weight reduction from the popular SL+ makes the G3 rear hub the lightest power meter in the world. CycleOps improved on the rigidity of previous models for the G3 by shrinking the hub profile and widening the flanges, ending the days of heavy, paint bucket-sized rear hubs. With the distractions of weight and stealth design out of the way, CycleOps improved the functionality and accuracy of data gathering.
For one, CycleOps moved the orientation of the electronics that transmit user data to the end cap of the freehub body. With the new positioning, it's now possible to remove the electronics for service without swapping out the entire wheel, equating to more time in the saddle and fewer headaches. The new G3 is also equipped with an ANT+ wireless transmitter that sends power, torque, speed, and virtual cadence data to either your PowerTap Joule GPS or any other ANT+-compatible head unit. The G3 is capable of storing up to 15 hours of data in one-second gathering intervals, and up to 30 hours of data in two-second gathering intervals. The G3 design still has a 'torque tube' with eight strain gauges, yielding measurements accurate within +/- 1.5% between 40 and 130 rpm.
Each wheelset is hand-built in the USA with DT Swiss Aerolite Spokes, and it features the 97-gram PowerTap front hub. The new front hub design features a beefed up 10mm axle, an aluminum hub shell, and 6901 aluminum sealed bearing cartridges. CycleOps also claims that the complete wheelset only tips the scales at 1670 grams.
The CycleOps Enve SES 6.7 Tubular Wheelset is available in the color Black and with a Shimano/SRAM 11-speed-compatible freehub body.
