ENVE Wheels with Boyd Hubs

Custom wheel built by ProWheelBuilder: Chris King R45 Red hubs, ENVE Smart 3.4 Black rims

Custom ENVE Wheels on Boyd Hubs

Pick an ENVE rim we carry, put it on a Boyd hub, and we lace and true the wheel by hand in our Georgia shop.

Why build ENVE rims on Boyd hubs:

  • Made by specialists: ENVE rims molded in Ogden, Utah (SES, G and M Series)
  • Proven: ENVE developed its M Series over 322 prototypes with pro riders and teams; Boyd's 36-tooth hubs engage every 5 degrees
  • Built to last: Boyd hubs change freehubs by hand and spin on Enduro ABEC-5 bearings; ENVE covers its rims with a lifetime warranty
  • Laced and trued by hand, one wheel at a time, in our Georgia shop
  • In depth below: SES 3.4 gravel · M5 Pro mountain · SES 2.3 road

Or pick one of the 14 ready-made pairs below: each opens our custom wheel builder with the ENVE rim and Boyd hub already chosen.

Gravel in depth

ENVE SES 3.4 wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our gravel pick from the ENVE and Boyd parts we build with. The ENVE SES 3.4 is a hookless carbon rim, 25mm inside, 39mm deep, about 370 grams in 700c, sized for about 35 to 50mm tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

  • Centerlock rotors on the Quest. One central lockring holds the rotor instead of six small bolts. Boyd chose it because the rotor goes on faster and there are no bolts to torque one by one.

Mountain in depth

ENVE M5 Pro wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our mountain pick from the ENVE and Boyd parts we build with. The ENVE M5 Pro is a hookless carbon rim, 29mm inside, 20mm deep, about 345 grams in 29 inch, sized for about 2.3 to 2.6 inch tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

  • M Series front and rear rims do different jobs. On models like the M6, the front rim runs wider for more tire support, lower pressure and more traction, with a narrower edge to save weight. The rear gets a wider edge for pinch-flat and impact protection, because ENVE says that is where damage is more likely.
  • Five degrees of engagement. The 85 Road and the Quest both turn on 36 teeth and engage every 5 degrees. That cuts the dead spot before the drive catches when you start pedaling again, such as coming out of a corner.

Road in depth

ENVE SES 2.3 wheels on Boyd Quest hubs

Our road pick from the ENVE and Boyd parts we build with. The ENVE SES 2.3 is a hookless carbon rim, 21mm inside, 28mm deep, about 275 grams in 700c, sized for about 28 to 38mm tires. We lace it to Boyd Quest hubs (front wheel) in 24 hole.

  • Molded spoke holes. ENVE forms its spoke and valve holes in the mold instead of drilling them, so the carbon fibers stay uncut. Drilled carbon needs extra material to restore its strength, and ENVE says skipping that saves weight without giving up durability or stiffness.
  • Tool-free changes. Quest end caps and freehub bodies swap by hand, and the 85 Road offers tool-free service with a swappable freehub. A new frame, axle standard or groupset does not have to mean a new hub.

More about ENVE and Boyd wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built ENVE wheels on Boyd hubs

Every pair on this page is in our builder today, with a rim and hub that fit each other. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.

What ENVE rims and Boyd hubs each bring

  • Molded spoke holes. ENVE forms its spoke and valve holes in the mold instead of drilling them, so the carbon fibers stay uncut. Drilled carbon needs extra material to restore its strength, and ENVE says skipping that saves weight without giving up durability or stiffness.
  • A seat for internal nipples. Where a rim uses internal nipples, a molded cone behind the hole lets the nipple pivot like a ball in a socket, so the spoke leaves at the same angle the nipple sits. ENVE says the lower bending stress means less truing and fewer fatigue breaks.
  • M Series front and rear rims do different jobs. On models like the M6, the front rim runs wider for more tire support, lower pressure and more traction, with a narrower edge to save weight. The rear gets a wider edge for pinch-flat and impact protection, because ENVE says that is where damage is more likely.
  • Five degrees of engagement. The 85 Road and the Quest both turn on 36 teeth and engage every 5 degrees. That cuts the dead spot before the drive catches when you start pedaling again, such as coming out of a corner.
  • Three pawls at a time on the Quest. The Quest has six pawls working in two sets of three on its 36-tooth ring, so three pawls carry the load at each engagement.
  • Tool-free changes. Quest end caps and freehub bodies swap by hand, and the 85 Road offers tool-free service with a swappable freehub. A new frame, axle standard or groupset does not have to mean a new hub.

Two things to check before you order

  • Nipples. The SES 3.4, SES 4.5, G23, SES 2.3, G SES 4.5 Pro, G SES 6.7 Pro, SES 4.5 Pro, SES 6.7 Pro, AM30 and M9 Pro take internal nipples; the M5 Pro, M6 and M8 take external nipples. The builder offers only the nipple type each rim takes.
  • Tires. The SES 4.5 Pro and SES 6.7 Pro are hooked; every other ENVE rim on this page is hookless, so choose a tire its maker rates for hookless rims.

ENVE and Boyd custom wheel questions

Which Boyd hub fits my ENVE rim?

The cards on this page start on the Boyd hub our customers build with each rim most often (Boyd Quest). The builder lists every Boyd hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.

Do you build ENVE rims on other hubs?

Yes. See our ENVE custom wheel page for every hub that fits each ENVE rim, or our Boyd custom wheel page for every rim on a Boyd hub.

Can you build with a Boyd hub or ENVE rim I already own?

Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.

How long will my wheel take?

Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.

Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
