Last week Enve launched their first gravel-specific wheels, the G Series, which includes the G23 700C and G27 650b options... and this week we got to see the G23's up close when Jamie Wilkins from Enve paid us a visit.
Enve launches new gravel-specific carbon fibre wheels
19 of the best gravel and adventure bikes
Is 650b right for you?
The wheels we saw in the video are the G23 700c versions, and the weight is a featherlight 1,342g for the set which is actually lighter than most road wheels built for climbing. Enve are recommending low tyre pressures of between 25 and 35psi for the 650b versions, with the unique bell shape of the rim protecting against pinch flats or your tyres bottoming out over rough terrain. The G23 and G27 will be available to buy in the UK from next month, and we'll be hoping to get a set in for review soon...
After cobbling together a few hundred quid during his student days off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story), Jack bought his first road bike at the age of 20 and has been hooked ever since. He joined road.cc in 2017, having previously worked for 220 Triathlon magazine. Jack's preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking (the latter being another long story), and on Sunday afternoons he can often be found on an M5 service station indulging in his favourite post-race meal of 20 chicken nuggets, a sausage roll, caramel shortbread and a large strawberry milkshake.
