ENVE 20H-Front/24H-Rear Rim Brake QR Hubs

ENVE QR Rim Brake HUBS

-Made in the US, these carbon road hubs sit as the brand’s pinnacle choice for performance seekers
-ENVE is introducing, for the first time, its own top-line carbon hubs, designed to sit above premium options from Chris King and DT Swiss. The ENVE Carbon Road hubs add even more lust factor to the brand’s high-end wheels.
-With the rear weighing an impressive 159g. yes, there are lighter hubs, but we’re not aware of any lighter ‘standard hubs’ that boast these strengths numbers and offer such a proven freehub design
-That’s an impressive weight for a hub claiming such durability and that still accepts standard spokes
-The new carbon-shelled road hubs save 60g compared with a pair of premium DT Swiss 180 hubs.
-Strength dosn’t appear to be an issue, with the flanges rated to take 800-900 ft/lbs of tension. (ENVE isn’t sure just how much tension these hubs can take as the spokes tend to snap at about 800 ft/lbs of tension.) This impressive figure is achieved via a similar technique to that used on ENVE’s rims, where the hub spoke holes are moulded as one with the shell, meaning there’s no drilling to weaken the structure.
-Designed with the star ratchet hub mechanism from DT Swiss’ 180 hubs and bearings from CeramicSpeed, these items are premium beyond the US-made carbon shell.
-A pair of hubs will set you back $1,350 (UK and Australian pricing was unavailable at the time of writing – we’ll add as soon as we have it).
-The Carbon Road hubs are available in 20 hole front, and 24 hole rear only. The hubs hold a five-year warranty, with an impressive four-year warranty on the bearings.
-Thanks to the unique CeramicSpeed bearing properties, you ride faster or save energy when riding with your optimised hubs.
-The top hub technology designed by ENVE meets the unmatched quality and lifetime of the CeramicSpeed bearings. With a lifetime tested and proven to be 3-5 times longer than standard wheel bearings you will enjoy your ENVE hubs for a longer time and achieve top performance with your upgraded wheelset.
