ENVE, purveyor of lust-worthy carbon goodness has beefed up its wheel range adding a 29+ option to its pre-existing M60 Forty, plus sized line.
ENVE isn’t known for jumping onto new trends and it was only recently that it brought its clown shoe size, 27.5+ hoops to the market.

The wheels are optimised for 2.8”-3” tyres and with their mammoth 40mm internal width, should give tyres a plump, squared-off profile once mounted up. The rims come in at a relatively shallow 25mm deep, which helps to keep the weight down to an impressive (claimed) 405g/rim.
ENVE boasts that its wheels are industry leaders when it comes to impact strength and like all rims in the ENVE M-series, the M60 Forty Plus features a hookless bead. This has long been known to improve impact strength without compromising a tubeless setup and given that the bead is a meaty 4.5mm thick, you can expect these to be a reliable set of hoops.
The wheels are very likely to be seen on rigid, mid-fat bike bikes like the Trek Stache 5 or Niner ROS 9 Plus, with tyres running at perilously low pressures, so this strength will be key.
