Mountain bikers aren’t the only ones that will benefit from ENVE’s new Foundation Collection. Along with the all new AM30 wheelset, ENVE is launching two new models for the road – the ENVE 45 and ENVE 65. Like the mountain side, the road Foundation Collection benefits from ENVE’s improvements in manufacturing efficiencies at their state of the art production facility. The ability to produce enough Foundation Collection wheels to meet demands while also being able to reduce the price were both key to the success of the new wheels. While still made in the USA, the Foundation Claims to offer...

To help pick out the appropriate set of rims for your custom wheel build, we've broken them into two main groups: Standard Rims & Disc Rims.  To make things easier, we've further broken these groups into Categories, based on their dimensions. (ie Width and Depth) and sorted them according to their Weight. These 3 specifications are the main attributes to consider to optimise your ride performance and overall experience.  Here are some bullet points to help you along: style of riding (ie, criterium, century, touring) terrain (ie, tarmac, gravel, cobbles) distance  gradient  wind conditions optimal tyre size frame / brake clearance -------------------------- ...

As the name suggests, it embraces the current reform in the industry, with the goal of testing and delivering vastly superior product, even if concepts are initially unconventional and unaccepted.  This new line presents the hallmark of modernism, and the series of finished products depict our vision of the future.  Essence & Development Two years following the success of the X-Series (nicknamed the Experiment), the AGN takes a...

Which wheels are best for speed, stability, braking and handling? This article was first published on 220 Triathlon.com. Deep-section aero wheels offer some of the biggest speed gains you can find, along with your helmet and clothing. The difference between basic training wheels and the best of this group can be as much as four minutes in a 40km bike leg. In short, aero wheels are essential as soon as you switch from completing to competing. Super-deep  wheels, such as the 70mm-plus hoops here, are specialist tools for racing on flat and rolling courses. While they’re much faster than standard wheels, they...
