Unless you've been living under a rock that hasn't been kicked up by a gravel going bicycle wheel, you've no doubt noticed the industry's fastest growing segment of the market. It's no longer a fringe discipline with riders cobbling together repurposed gear, gravel riding and racing has come into its own with bikes and components dedicated to riding over mixed terrain. We're fans here too, taking advantage of the versatility of the bikes and its ability to create new riding adventures. Just like we've seen in road and mountain riding, tire and rim widths in gravel are ever-increasing as the larger volume tires result in more traction and comfort over chunky B-roads. ENVE Composites took its experience in crafting carbon fiber and a synergy of road and mountain technology when designing its gravel-specific lineup of wheels and the resulting G27 650b Disc Brake Wheelset is the culmination of its efforts.

As part of ENVE's first ever gravel specific rim lineup, these tubeless hoops are super lightweight at 320-grams, helping you tackle those repeated climbs that rack up the ascension numbers. This particular wheelset is for 650b compatible bikes and is plenty durable for everyday riding while providing an added boost on race day. As we mentioned above, this is the first gravel-specific rim from ENVE and it included features that help it excel in gravel training and racing. It received valuable feedback from its in-house riders and sponsored racers with its development with a goal to build a super lightweight set of hoops packing the durability needed to prevent you from becoming stranded with a mechanical in the middle of nowhere. One of these key features learned from its mountain bike tech is the inclusion of its wide r...
