Plus wheels and tires have the potential to add a lot of traction and confidence to your ride, but they also can add a good bit of weight. Along with the increase in tire size, plus bikes usually roll on larger rims which can add up quickly. That makes wheel upgrades potentially more effective for the plus size world and carbon rim manufacturers like ENVE have taken notice. Initially launched for 27.5+ only, that same wide carbon tech is now available for 29ers as well…
Essentially the same wheel as their 27.5+ model, the 29″ M60 Forty wheels measure 40mm internally/49mm externally. The 25mm deep rims feature a hookless bead design that is said to reduce the risk of pinch flatting while maintaining impact resistance. Like the 27.5″ model, the 29″ version is meant for 2.8-3.0″ tires.
Built with 28 spokes front and rear, wheelsets will be available only with Boost spacing hubs including 6 bolt Chris King or DT Swiss 240, or DT 240 Centerlock boost hubs are an option as well. Offered with your choice of 7 decal colors, complete wheelsets will run $2900 while individual rims will sell for $975 and weight 490g each.
