Description
ENVE Foundation 45mm Wheelset
Engineered for speed, strength, and all-out performance, the ENVE Foundation 45mm Wheelset brings ENVE’s elite aerodynamic technology to a wider audience of road cyclists and triathletes. Drawing from over a decade of race-proven aero innovation, this wheelset is designed to deliver low drag, high stability, and a ride feel that rivals pricier alternatives on the market.
Inspired by ENVE’s top-tier SES series, the Foundation 45 adopts a trickle-down approach—bringing world-class aerodynamics and performance into a more accessible package. Whether you’re racing against the clock or putting in serious road miles, the 45mm depth and aero profile are optimised for tubeless tyres between 25–28c, delivering maximum efficiency and stability in real-world conditions.
Constructed with ENVE’s patented technologies—including Wide Hookless Beads to reduce pinch flats and Internal Molded Spoke and Valve Holes for strength without added weight—this is a wheelset built to last. The Foundation Road Alloy hub is equipped with Instant Drive 360 tech and a 40t ratchet for lightning-fast engagement and low maintenance. The result: a lightweight, responsive, and confidence-inspiring ride.
Every ENVE Foundation 45mm Wheelset is handcrafted in Ogden, Utah, and backed by a 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty and Lifetime Incident Protection—giving riders peace of mind, mile after mile.
