ENVE

M60 Forty 27.5in Boost Wheelset

Most of us, to be honest, don't have the luxury of picking between XC race wheels or rally-ready enduro hoops depending on the day. That's OK, though, because we can simply slap the ENVE M60 Forty 27.5in Boost Wheelset onto our trail bike and call it all good. Better than good, actually, because the M60 Forty bridges the gap between high-end XC and a burly all-mountain wheelset as its virtually the same weight as many XC rims, but a few millimeters wider so you get more rubber on the ground for better traction around high-speed corners and more comfort through chunky terrain.

ENVE's M-Series brought about its first foray into hookless bead technology, a design that is ideal for tubeless applications as it offers easier setup and a better tire profile allowing you to run crazy low pressures for unreal grip over wester moondust, on eastern roots and rocks, and PNW loam. The ride quality is typical ENVE with its famous on rails precision with just a hint of give to reduce fatigue through rugged and rocky sections of trail. DT Swiss' responsive and rugged 240 hubs round out the package, providing its signature star rachet engagement for quick and solid acceleration in a virtually maintenance-free package.
