Speed

The Smart ENVE System optimizes the interface between the frame surfaces and the wheels, creating an integrated system. The front and rear wheels interact differently with the air and the rest of the bicycle. Rim shapes are optimized to allow airflow to stay attached at higher yaw angles, thus reducing drag and improving ride performance.

The front wheel is wider and shallower to improve stability and reduce drag in any wind condition
The rear wheel is deeper to reduce drag where stability is less affected
Wheels were tested on multiple frame designs in order to produce the maximum drag reduction. The result is a wheel system, which handles predictably, and displays superior drag results when installed in multiple bicycle frame designs

Stability

Steering feedback in variable conditions needs to be predictable to have total handling confidence. Less predictable wheels have a non-linear steering response, resulting in erratic and unpredictable handling in unsteady conditions. The shape of the Smart ENVE System rim is optimized to ensure even and predictable airflow attachment. What the rider experiences is a balanced build up of side force as the angle of crosswind changes. This allows the rider to accurately predict the handling mannerisms of the wheel and avoid dangerous over correction cycles.

The focus on steering stability resulted in improved handling and confidence in varying crosswinds
Therefore, the wheel shape was optimized to produce a predictable and linear response
The target stability gradient was 1.0

Strong, Stiff, Light - The Enve Process

ENVE is renowned for developing the strongest, stiffest and lightest rims on the market. This durability is proven across all disciplines of the sport including being the first and only carbon wheel to podium at World Cup DH events. All ENVE products, including the Smart ENVE System, share this advanced manufacturing technology. These technologies involve:

Highest strength to weight ratio in the industry
Proprietary molded in spoke hole technology
Textured braking surface allowing for a more positive engagement and better braking in wet conditions
