The ENVE 45 is a state-of-the-art carbon road wheel designed for modern riders who seek speed, efficiency, and durability across various terrains. Whether pushing the limits in a race, powering through a solo effort, or exploring rugged, forgotten roads, this wheel delivers the aerodynamic and structural performance needed for confidence-inspiring rides. With a 45mm deep rim, a 21mm internal width, and an optimized aero tire range of 25c-28c, the ENVE 45 is built for road, triathlon, and all-road use. It is exclusively tubeless, ensuring improved rolling resistance, comfort, and pinch-flat protection. The wheel is compatible with ENVE Foundation Innerdrive, JB, and CL hubs, and features a 24-hole count for a strong yet lightweight build.

Crafted in ENVE’s cutting-edge U.S.-based manufacturing facility, the ENVE 45 benefits from over a decade of carbon wheel innovation. Like the elite SES series, it was developed and tested in the Mercedes Benz Formula One wind tunnel, ensuring superior real-world aerodynamic performance at speeds ranging from 20mph (32kph) to 30mph (48kph). Unlike other brands that test wheels in isolation, ENVE prioritizes in-frame testing for optimal efficiency across a variety of riding conditions. Additionally, the wheel incorporates ENVE’s patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, which disperses impact forces to minimize the risk of pinch flats, enhancing durability and ride quality.

At the core of the ENVE 45 is the Foundation Innerdrive Hub System, which delivers best-in-class power transfer and longevity. Featuring oversized steel ratchets in multiple engagement options (40t, 60t, 80t, and 100t), this hub is designed to reduce axle stress and ensure smooth, reliable engagement. The Perfect Preload™ system automatically adjusts bearing tension for optimal performance and durability. Backed by ENVE’s Lifetime Incident Protection and a five-year factory warranty, the ENVE 45 provides high-end carbon wheel performance at an accessible price, making it a solid choice for riders seeking speed, reliability, and innovation.
