ENVE Composites is practically famous for manufacturing tube sets for some the best artisan frame builders in the world.

A roll wrapped carbon tube is manufactured by wrapping unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg tape around a mandrel with the majority, but not all, of the carbon fiber running longitudinally. This type of construction offers a higher strength to weight ratio than is available in pultruded tubes. It is used where thin walled, lightweight tubes are required to provide additional torsional stiffness and high strength.

"We have worked with the team at Edge Composites since 2006 and could not be happier with the partnership. Edge Composites produces our custom tubing to our precise specifications, both bladder-molded (aero section) and roll-wrapped (round) tubes as well as our wishbone seat stay modules and custom parts for our triathlon bike. We also specify the 2.0 and 1.0 forks on our road, track, cross and triathlon bicycles. We love the performance, reliability and light weight of the forks as well. There is no other fork in this weight range that rides as nice."
