So what is the advantage of enve rims? Weight wise they’ seem to be on a par with Stan’s. Is it the stiffness?
Yeah, if ultimate stiffness is what you want.
The ‘problem’ they have is they were the first people to market with a hard riding rim that didn’t fold (immediately) So, combined with marketing, (sponsoring SCS, having seemingly every new bike model shod with them on the release pics/press demos) they could charge a MASSIVE premium. Now everyone else has caught up, for much less money, and enve are still trying to sell their rims at 1600 a pair…
(Hilariously, when I first saw the ‘first look’ review in mbuk, I thought £750 was a typo, and it should have been £75, the article said they were mega expensive, which I thought £75 still would have been, as it was twice what I’d paid for the last lot of alu ones 😆 how wrong was I…)
