Considered for quite a while to be not quite tough enough to withstand the rigors of downhill racing or other extreme riding, the 27.5-inch wheel format wasn't readily embraced by the gravity community at first, and nor was the idea of a carbon rim. Taking the rulebook and thoroughly ripping it to shreds, however, ENVE stepped up, and if there's one wheelset out there that has single-handedly contributed to a huge turning of the tide in regard to what we understand both carbon and 27.5 wheels are capable of, it's easily the ENVE 27.5-inch Downhill Wheelset.
You'll see this exact wheelset bolted to a growing number of 27.5-inch downhill bikes, including both prototypes and production race rockets. Jaw-droppingly light, at only 1784 grams for the set with DT 240 hubs (1912 grams for the same set with Chris King hubs), ENVE's Downhill rim is also stupidly strong. Its 100% unidirectional carbon fiber construction makes the rim not only tougher and more resilient than any alloy rim on the market, it's also torsionally stiffer, equating to better tracking and cornering performance, particularly in technical terrain.
It's not just about the carbon, though. The construction thereof has a lot to do with the Downhill Wheelset's excellent strength and ride quality. First, ENVE uses its proprietary Toughened Resin System in the construction of the rim, which bolsters the design's impact resistance and a high degree of vibration dampening to the layup, lending the wheels their calm, composed feel, even in the nastiest of conditions. ENVE's patented Molded Spoke Hole Technology also significantly increases the strength of the rim by molding the spoke holes into it as it's being produced, not drilling them out later and compromising the rim's structural integrity. Between these two manufacturing techniques, the wheelset requires virtually zero maintenance on top of its staggeringly good performance.
The ENVE 27.5-inch Downhill Wheelset comes with either DT Swiss 240 hubs or Chris King hubs, and the rims are tubeless-compatible. With either hubset, they come with a 20mm front thru-axle and a 150x12mm rear thru-axle configuration, and with ENVE's standard decals only.
