The AR40 is the latest addition to the Foundation lineup.
Featuring an aerodynamically optimized 40mm rim depth front and rear with a 25mm internal rim width, the AR40 is designed to deliver ultimate versatility for the road ride and racer looking for performance on and off-road.
Ultimate versatility for the on and off-road rider
1515g Wheelset Weight Avg. (+/- 3%)
Inner Rim Width: 25mm
Aero optimized tire size: 27mm*
Tested and qualified to ENVE's gravel standards
For Use With Tubeless Tires Only
*Tire must be Tubeless and listed as "Approved/Recommended" on ENVE's Tire Compatibility Page.
POT-HOLE AND IMPACT PROTECTION
Potholes and unforeseen impacts are part of the ride, but that doesn’t mean they need to ruin your day. The AR40 features ENVE’s patent pending Wide Hookless Bead which is a design element at the leading edge of the rim that dissipates impact energy and reduces the likelihood of pinch flatting your tubed or tubeless tire
MOLDED SPOKE HOLE
ENVE’s patented process of molding spoke and valve stem holes results in rims that are stronger and lighter. Because carbon fiber gets its strength from continuous fibers, ENVE routes the fibers around the hole without cutting them, increasing the strength of each spoke hole. This technique pays large dividends in the final product by allowing for a lighter spoke face while improving rim strength.
Because of this process, our spoke holes are capable of maintaining higher spoke tensions, greatly reducing the risk of spoke pull-through and the need to constantly true your wheels. Strong, light, and maintenance free.
