ENVE has today announced its MSERIES rims, a collection that is divided into four rim sizes that cover everything from cross-country racing to downhill riding.
All MSERIES rims are said to hold various improvements when compared to the company’s previous generation rims, including reduced weight and significant gains in impact resistance.
A new ‘hookless’ bead design has also been implemented to create a more reliable seal for tubeless applications. Lead Engineer Brett Satterthwaite said: “Our beadless hook design has performance implications that include better tubeless performance, pinch-flat resistance and impact durability. It is a design that truly plays to the strengths of full carbon construction.”
