Gravel in depth

ENVE G23 gravel wheels on DT Swiss 240 Disc hubs

ENVE's shallow carbon gravel rim on DT Swiss's 240 Disc. The G23 is 23mm inside and 25mm deep for 35 to 45mm tires, about 330 grams, molded in Ogden, Utah. Every ENVE gravel rim we carry builds onto the 240 Disc Centerlock in 24 hole.

  • A bead that protects the tire. The wide, blunt hookless bead squeezes the tire on a hard hit instead of cutting it.
  • Tough for its weight. ENVE says the G23 tests close to its cross-country M Series rims for toughness.
  • Ratchet EXP on the 240. One ratchet is combined with the threaded ring and the drive-side bearing moves into it, which DT Swiss says adds 15 percent axle stiffness and longer bearing life.
  • Or the G SES 4.5 Pro. For fast gravel courses: 49mm front and 55mm rear, 30mm inside for 44 to 52mm tires, about 455 and 450 grams, with a 3.8mm hookless sidewall for pinch-flat protection.

Mountain in depth

ENVE M6 trail wheels on DT Swiss 240 hubs

The trail rim we build most. The M6 front is 32mm inside for 2.4 to 2.6 inch tires at 430 grams; the rear is 29mm inside at 445 grams, to keep the tire supported when you stand on the pedals. Both are shallow, so the rim gives a little on a long rocky descent instead of beating you up. On the 240, every tooth of the star ratchets engages at once.

  • Tooth counts you can change. The 240 comes with 36 teeth and takes a 54-tooth ratchet later, for less pedal travel before the hub catches on technical climbs.
  • Freehub service without tools. The end caps and freehub come off by hand for cleaning and regreasing, so the hub keeps running season after season.
  • Racing? The M5 Pro. ENVE's cross-country rim, 29mm front and 27mm rear inside at 345 and 360 grams, built to finish a World Cup course. It is a 24 hole rim.

Road in depth

ENVE SES 4.5 wheels on DT Swiss 240 Disc hubs

ENVE's all-round aero road rim on the DT Swiss 240 Disc, a pairing our customers have built with us for years. The SES 4.5 is 50mm deep in front and 56mm in the rear, 25mm inside and hookless, at 411 and 415 grams.

  • Calm in a crosswind. ENVE shapes the shallower front for stability in gusts and the deeper rear for straight-line speed and stiffness under power.
  • Or the 180. The 180 pairs Ratchet EXP with SINC ceramic bearings where the 240 uses steel, which DT Swiss credits with low friction. Switch to it in the builder.
  • Or the SES 4.5 Pro. Lighter, developed with UAE Team Emirates: 23.5mm inside, 49/55mm deep and 369/383 grams, and hooked, so you are not limited to hookless-rated tires.

Questions about these builds

G23 or G SES 4.5 Pro for gravel on the 240?

The G23 is the shallow, light choice for climbing and rough courses: 23mm inside for 35 to 45mm tires, about 330 grams a rim. The G SES 4.5 Pro is the aero choice for fast courses on 44 to 52mm tires: 49/55mm deep and 30mm inside. Both build onto the 240 Disc in 24 hole.

M6 or M5 Pro on DT Swiss hubs?

The M6 is the trail rim: 32mm front and 29mm rear inside for 2.4 to 2.6 inch tires, built in 28 hole on the 240 MTB hub. The M5 Pro is ENVE's cross-country race rim: 29mm and 27mm inside at 345 and 360 grams, a 24 hole rim on the 240 Centerlock.

SES 4.5 or SES 4.5 Pro on the 240?

Pick the SES 4.5 for the wider 25mm hookless bed, at 411 and 415 grams. Pick the SES 4.5 Pro to save 74 grams across the pair and to run tires that are not rated for hookless rims; its bed is 23.5mm. Both build onto the 240 Disc in 24 hole.

Road, cross and gravel disc

ENVE road and gravel rims on DT Swiss disc hubs

Every ENVE road and gravel rim we carry is drilled 24 hole, and each card uses the DT Swiss 240 Disc Centerlock in 24 hole. In the builder you can switch to the 350 Disc, the 180 Straight Pull Disc, or the 240 and 350 Straight Pull Disc, all offered in 24 hole for these rims. Each card opens the builder with the rims and hubs for a wheelset already picked; you choose the colors, spokes and the rest.

Mountain bike

ENVE mountain rims on DT Swiss MTB hubs

The M5 Pro is a 24 hole rim, so its card uses the 240 Disc Centerlock hub. The other cards use the 240 Disc 6-bolt hub in the rim's drilling, and in the builder you can switch to Centerlock, the 350 or a straight-pull version where it comes in that drilling. The M8 is 28 hole in front and 32 hole in the rear.

More about ENVE and DT Swiss wheels

Why the pairing, specs and FAQ

Custom hand built ENVE wheels on DT Swiss hubs

ENVE rims on DT Swiss hubs is a pairing our customers have built with us for years, from the 240 on an SES 4.5 to the 180 under an SES 6.7 Pro. 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.

Why ENVE rims and DT Swiss hubs work well together

  • Molded spoke holes. ENVE forms its spoke and valve holes in the mold instead of drilling them, so the carbon fibers stay uncut.
  • Star ratchets instead of pawls. Facing toothed rings take the drive, and all their teeth engage at the same moment. DT Swiss says a pawl has only a small contact area, while the whole face of its ratchet engages, and it credits the smaller point loads for these hubs' reliability.
  • 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.
  • Ratchet EXP on the 240 and 180. One ratchet is combined with the threaded ring, leaving fewer parts and less weight. The drive-side bearing moves into that ring too, which widens the bearing spacing, and DT Swiss says this adds 15 percent axle stiffness and longer bearing life.
  • 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.
  • Freehub service without tools. The end caps and freehub come off by hand for cleaning and regreasing, with no special tools.

Check before you order

  • Nipples. The SES 2.3, SES 3.4, SES 4.5, SES 4.5 Pro, SES 6.7 Pro, G23, G SES 4.5 Pro, G SES 6.7 Pro, M9 Pro and AM30 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.
  • Which hub fits. Every ENVE road and gravel rim we carry builds onto the DT Swiss 240 Disc in 24 hole; ENVE mountain rims build onto DT Swiss MTB hubs in the rim's drilling.

ENVE and DT Swiss custom wheel questions

Which DT Swiss hub fits my ENVE rim?

For the SES and G road and gravel rims, a DT Swiss disc hub in 24 hole: the 240, 350 or 180, in J-bend or straight-pull versions. For the mountain rims, a DT Swiss MTB hub in the rim's drilling, Centerlock or 6-bolt. The builder only offers drillings and brake types that fit.

240, 350 or 180: which should I pick?

All three drive through DT Swiss star ratchets. The 240 and 180 use Ratchet EXP, and the 180 adds SINC ceramic bearings where the 240 uses steel. The 350 uses the original Ratchet System, which DT Swiss calls marginally heavier. Each one shows its price in the builder.

Do you build ENVE rims on other hubs?

Yes. See ENVE wheels with Chris King and Industry Nine hubs, or our ENVE custom wheel page for every hub that fits each ENVE rim.

Can you build with a 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.
