Trickle Down Technology From M Series Wheels
Optimized around a 2.4" tire, the XC28 borrows shaping cues from the M5 and M6 to strike the ideal balance of compliance and control. The result is a wheel that tracks confidently through rugged sections while maintaining the efficiency and responsiveness XC riders demand.
WIDE HOOKLESS BEAD AND MOLDED SPOKE HOLES
POT-HOLE AND IMPACT PROTECTION Potholes and unforeseen impacts are part of life, but that doesn't mean they need to ruin your ride. The ENVE XC28 features ENVE's patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, which is a design element at the leading edge of the rim that dissipates impact energy and reduces the likelihood of pinch flatting your tubed or tubeless tire? ? MOLDED SPOKE HOLE ENVE's patented process of molding spoke and valve stem holes results in rims that are stronger and lighter. Because carbon fiber gets its strength from continuous fibers, ENVE routes the fibers around the hole without cutting them, increasing the strength of each spoke hole. This technique pays large dividends in the final product by allowing for a lighter spoke face while improving rim strength.? Because of this process, our spoke holes are capable of maintaining higher spoke tensions, greatly reducing the risk of spoke pull-through and the need to constantly true your wheels. Strong, light, and maintenance-free.
INNERDRIVE™ HUBS
INNERDRIVE™ represents the pinnacle of bicycle drive mechanisms. Oversized steel ratchets are positioned inboard and over the bearings, reducing stress on the axle and bearings while ensuring positive and reliable engagement.? ? HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS?
