The best way to know WHY ENVE, is to ride a pair for yourself.
The ENVE Demo program allows you to ride ENVE on your own bike, on your own terms. Therefore, we invite you to put the ENVE wheelset of your choice through the paces and feel the ENVE difference in the real world.
Une roue sans contrainte conçue expressément pour le cross-country. Polyvalente, la M525 est assez légère pour la course et assez robuste pour une utilisation au quotidien. La rigidité latérale est conservée, tandis que le profil et le laminé plus souples ainsi que l’optimisation des trous de rayons diminuent la fatigue et améliorent la maniabilité.
Pour les pratiquants de cross-country modernes qui exigent des performances similaires en montée comme en descente et recherchent légèreté, longévité et souplesse verticale pour les longues heures passées en selle.
La fibre de carbone permet de libérer le potentiel des roues de VTT plus grandes et plus larges. Elle a ainsi immédiatement trouvé son public parmi les adeptes de courses de cross-country. Or nous constatons aujourd’hui qu’en cross-country, la frontière entre la course et le trail commence à s’estomper. Les vélos de trail tendent à s’alléger et à gagner en efficacité, tandis que les vélos destinés à la course ont gagné en longévité et en maniabilité. Par ailleurs, les courses sont plus diversifiées et souvent plus techniques que par le passé. Face à cette évolution, notre précédente gamme M50, toujours appréciée pour sa tenue dans les virages et son accélération, s’est avérée soudainement trop lourde, trop étroite et trop rigide. Et tandis que la M50 avait été conçue pour résister aux chocs, les pneus légers de cross-country qu’affectionnent les cyclistes ne l’étaient pas.
En résulte une roue de cross-country entièrement en fibre de carbone, plus légère, plus large, avec une plus grande souplesse verticale, ainsi qu’une résistance aux impacts et une fiabilité accrues. De plus, la M525 comprend les larges tringles sans crochets ENVE, en instance de brevet, qui améliorent la résistance aux crevaisons par pincement et permettent aux cyclistes d’utiliser les pneus légers et modernes de cross-country en profitant d’un risque réduit de crevaisons par pincement ou de dommages causés par les chocs..

Each rim and wheel model in the ENVE M Series is specifically designed for a refined application specific ride experience.
Paying tribute to the original M Series, the M5, M6, M7, and M9 Series follow the original M Series descent to climb ratios that are used to help you the rider align your ride preferences with the appropriate M Series wheel for you.
We tune each M series wheel model to the intended application by tuning everything from hole count to the very carbon laminate used to create the rim’s structure.

I race, A LOT! I have been on many different wheels in my time and have always lusted after a set of ENVE wheels. Finally I just pulled the trigger and got some ENVE M525… I could not be happier with my decision!
The ride quality and weight savings are second to none! Never abusive even on longer rides, track well and remain stiff when needed!
Next up for me.. M630

The m525s with the i9 Hydra hubs have been an awesome set of wheels to ride. They spin up real quickly and sound and feel great. I have previously spent the most time on the Roval Control SL wheels which are also great but feel a little softer, less reassuring and less rugged. The main thing I remember when riding the Enve’s is how sure-footed they are and I wasn’t worried about charging into rough technical sections. They give you more confidence and trust that the wheels will look after you. The only downfall I’ve had is the spokes breaking. I haven’t experienced this with any other wheel and they both have broken at the nipple under relatively tame riding. It’s a huge pain to replace the spoke as they’re internal. 4 stars because of the spoke issues.
