ENVE Composites AG25 Foundation Wheel

The AG25 features a 25mm internal rim width, which is optimized for gravel tires ranging from 36mm to 50mm wide. This width provides a stable platform that helps prevent tire squirm when running lower pressures.

No, this wheel uses a hookless bead design, which is specifically engineered for tubeless-ready tires. You must use a tubeless setup to ensure a secure tire-to-rim interface and prevent safety issues.

The patented Wide Hookless Bead design features a wider surface area at the rim edge. When you bottom out on a sharp rock or root, this wider surface dissipates the energy, significantly reducing the likelihood of cutting the tire casing against the rim.

The Innerdrive system uses oversized 42mm steel ratchets positioned directly over the bearings. This design reduces stress on the hub internals and provides very reliable, positive engagement when you put power down on loose or technical terrain.

Yes, the hub is designed for performance tuning. You can swap out the ratchets for different engagement options, though these interchangeable parts are sold separately.

Instead of drilling holes into the carbon rim after it is cured, ENVE molds the spoke holes directly into the rim structure. This maintains the integrity of the carbon fibers around the spoke hole, resulting in a stronger, more durable rim.
