ENVE x KING = Ultra-Light, Ultra-Strong Gravel Wheels
ENVE's tubeless carbon clincher G23 Chris King Gravel Wheelset offers strength, durability, stiffness, and a refined ride quality for modern gravel riders on modern gravel tires and bikes.
At 330 grams, ENVE's lightest 700c tubeless rim accelerates quickly and ascends with ease. Armed against pinch flats with the patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, the G23 is tough and relentless on road, path, or trail. With an inner rim width of 23mm, the G23 is designed to be paired with gravel treads between 35mm and 45mm.
The Ride:
Ultra-lightweight, and ready to rail for long and fast days in the saddle. Built on King R45D hubs, riding these ENVE G23 rims feels like you've gained a sixth sense and lost ten pounds. These wheels are ready for adventurous all-road pursuits, and the inevitable high-speed impacts with baby heads, death cookies, and roots. The G Series rims are the lightest tubeless rims ENVE has ever produced.
The Rims:
The ENVE G23 is ultra-lightweight, without compromise. This bell-shaped rim features ENVE's wide hookless bead design drastically reducing pinch flats and increasing durability. Engineered for high volume slicks (35-40mm) and gravel tires with tread from 35-45mm. ENVE rims are made in Ogden, Utah and backed by a five-year warranty. They are tubeless-ready to reduce weight and rolling resistance, in addition to providing a more supple ride with increased traction.
The Hubs:
The Chris King R45D Centerlock is the culmination of over 30 years of bearing experience and more than 20 years of hub building experience. The King R45 rear hub combines a redesigned RingDrive™ system with 45 teeth, for lower drag and near-instant engagement, a lightweight hub body, and legendary Chris King made-in-house bearings.
King bearings, available in steel and ceramic, have surgical-grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfectly matched inner and outer races. The quality and speed of King bearings are what sets them apart from the competition and they are what you will feel and notice on every single ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get faster with age and all King hubs and bearings are fully serviceable for years upon years of demanding use.
The patented Chris King RingDrive with 45-points for the R45D will get your power to the ground fast, provide unmatched engagement, and give you that legendary Chris King angry-bee sound.
