Product details
The ENVE Foundation 45mm Wheelset draws on ENVE’s world-leading expertise to deliver an aero wheelset that meets the demands of the modern road cyclist and triathlete.
The ENVE 45 benefits from a knowledge base that has been established over more than a decade’s worth of aero wheel development.
To achieve the low drag and high stability performance the ENVE 45 offers, ENVE takes cues from its top of the line SES line up. This trickle down approach from ENVE’s top-of-the-line products means the ENVE 45’s outperform, or perform similar to, competitor’s wheels that are upmarket in price.
Featuring ENVE’s Wide Hookless Bead technology, the ENVE 45 disperses any impact from pot holes, curbs and debris over a wide area, reducing the likelihood of pinch flats.
Patented Molded Spoke and Valve Stem Hole Technology results in rims that are light and strong. Because carbon fibre gets its strength from continuous fibres, ENVE routes the fibres around the hole without cutting them which increases the strength of each spoke hole.
The ENVE Foundation Road Hub features ENVE’s core hub technologies. The hub shell uses simplified machining without compromising flange geometry and wheel build stiffness. The drive mechanism uses Instant Drive 360 technology and a 40t ratchet to deliver responsive engagement, minimal drag, and low maintenance performance. The bearings are premium full contact sealed NTN steel bearings. The Rotor attachment is centre-lock.
