A case can be made that Enve Composites' (formerly Edge Composites) XC Clincher is the fastest-rolling off-road wheel in the world, in addition to being one of the lightest UST Certified Tubeless rims on the market. If you're looking for the ultimate lightweight super-stiff mountain wheel, Enve has unleashed the benchmark.
The benefit of the Enve XC Clincher comes on the ascents. It's light enough to carve significant rotational weight off your cross-country rig and allow you to power longer on technical ascents.
Now that Enve's XC rims are UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) certified, the new XC mountain rims are stiffer, stronger, and now tubeless.
The XC Clincher takes advantage of Enve's proprietary laminate and sidewall design, which allows the rim to carry a much higher spoke tension than any rim in its class. This design dramatically improves nipple seating angles, which extends spoke fatigue life and wheel durability.
