| Description | The ENVE Alloy Road Hub blends a high-strength machined hub shell with premium components to deliver exceptional performance and virtually no maintenance. Taking cues from ENVE's award-winning carbon hub design this rim-brake specific alloy hub has been five years in development to ensure a superior ride experience and low weights of just 100g front and 252g rear. Made entirely in ENVE's Utah headquarters the hub shell is machined from a forged billet with geometry designed to create a responsive and optimally stiff wheel. ENVE has chosen a paired spoke hole setup in the hub flange which allows more material to be removed reducing weight. The design also improves bracing angles enhancing drive stiffness efficiency and ride feel for more confidence-inspiring accelerating and cornering. The hub's axles have also been designed from the ground-up by ENVE and feature the brand's pioneering Perfect Preload system. By positioning a calibrated wave washer between the bearing and a snap ring installed on the axle bearing pre-load is consistently optimised. This eliminates bearing play and the need to adjust pre-load yourself reducing premature wear. Also increasing reliability are the custom premium stainless steel bearings and races which outperformed ceramic bearings in ENVE's lab tests and are ideal for British riding conditions. These long-life components are enhanced by full-contact bearing seals on outboard bearing faces and non-contact seals on internal faces to improve rolling efficiency. All this means the hubs roll with utter smoothness from day one and maintain their performance for thousands of miles without the need for servicing. This makes the ENVE Alloy Road Hub virtually maintenance free. The proprietary freehub body is machined from strong 7075 alloy and anodised to reduce cog bite. ENVE has created a 40-tooth nine-degree ratchet design with a single spring that gives exceptional drive response under power. A removable rubber gasket also changes the tone of the freehub when freewheeling. The freehub body can be swapped from Shimano to Campagnolo or SRAM XD-R versions without the need for tools or re-dishing the wheel. Key features:
