Aerodynamics: Tested in Wind Tunnel
Aerodynamics is one of the most important factors for achieving high performance.

Tested at speeds between 32 km/h and 48 km/h, they offer greater efficiency and stability in any wind condition.
Tubeless Technology: Speed and Safety
Switching to tubeless offers numerous advantages:
-
Reduced rolling resistance: the tire adheres better to the road.
-
Lower risk of punctures: the sealant protects against debris and small obstacles.
-
Maximum pressure customization: for optimal comfort, traction, and efficiency.
The Wide Hookless Bead design of the AR40 improves safety and reduces the risk of pinch flats.
Durability and Impact Resistance
ENVE uses exclusive technology to reinforce the rims without increasing weight:
-
Molded Spoke Holes: spoke holes are molded to maintain carbon fiber continuity, ensuring lightness and strength.
-
Protection from impacts and potholes: the rim dissipates impact energy, preventing tire damage.
INNERDRIVE™ Hubs: Uncompromising Reliability
INNERDRIVE™ hubs ensure efficient and long-lasting transmission thanks to:
- 42 mm oversize ratchet system
- Longer bearing life
- Reduced axle stress
- Perfect automatic preload and minimal maintenance
