There's a special place that lies between the mountain and the road. It's filled with adventure, turbulence, challenges, and a different sense of discovery that we don't find in either of the other disciplines. Gravel riding defines its own category with rule-breaking style, and fierce dedication to push harder, further, and delve into a bit of type two fun. It takes a different kind of self discipline, and while you can commit your body to the work, its harder to tell your anorexic road machine to push beyond the pavement without a ride filled with chatter. Bolder bikes are being built to take on the rougher terrain, so its only appropriate that ENVE would surge forward with a wheelset built to match, with the G23 tubeless Disc Wheelset. Built to handle it all, the G23 features a wide 23mm inner diameter for rolling with lofty 35mm-45mm tires that provide ample control and traction on variable terrain. Hookless rim beads first appeared on ENVE's last generation M-Series and are currently used on all of its mountain rims. They provide a vast improvement over the former XC, AM, and DH rims offering easier tubeless setup, improved rim durability, and increased weight savings. After a few seasons, the only complaint is the narrow bead hook can prove sharp on bottom outs, often leading to sliced tires. With the G23, it employs a wider hookless bead that's the culmination of over 2 years of development met to address both rim and tire durability. The rim shape features a broader leading edge on the bead which creates a more forgiving platform for the tire to bottom out, thus reducing the likelihood of pinch or snake-bite style flats. The design also allows for greater impact resistance for the rim when smashing it through washboard descents and chunky gravel. You can now confidently run lower tire pressure improving traction and decreasing rolling resistance without fear of a dreaded pinch flat miles away from civilization. The 23mm internal width on the G23 is desig...
