ENVE engineers utilized proven core technologies to develop the Foundation collection. With ENVE ride quality tuning, tubeless compatibility, and Hookless beads for improved pinch-flat protection, the ENVE Foundation lineup is ready for wherever you want to ride.
Foundation rims are part of the all-function, easy-on-the-wallet, US-made Collection, with profiles available for road and off-road disciplines.
All Foundation rims feature ENVE Wide Hookless Bead technology for anti-pinch flat performance, and to complement higher volume tubeless road tires. ENVE Wide Hookless shapes allows a larger range of tubeless road tires.
The benefits of road tubeless are:
• Lower rolling resistance – By eliminating the inner-tube, the friction between tire and tube is also eliminated, allowing the tire roll, flex, and conform to the road with greater efficiency.
• Flat less, ride more – Flat tires are a buzz-kill. With a little sealant you can eliminate nearly all flats that would have been caused by an intrusive thorn or piece of debris.
• Run the Best Pressure – Tubeless means you can run the pressure you want to maximize comfort, traction, and rolling efficiency. (Visit the ENVE tire pressure page to dial in your best tire pressure)
• Hookless/Straight-Sidewall Design -Tubeless performance depends on the tire maintaining a light press-fit with the rim on the bead seat diameter. ENVE chooses a hookless tubeless rim profile as it allows the rim’s critical tolerance at the bead seat diameter to be both consistent and accurate. In short, hookless is chosen to deliver a more safe, reliable, and ultimately proper tire fitment.
