ENVE G27 650b Carbon Gravel Rim

At 320 grams, Enve’s G27 opens up a new world of riding possibilities, allowing set ups with more range than xc/trail bikes while being much more capable off-road than traditional road bikes. With its generous 27mm internal width, the G27 is designed to be paired with gravel and road plus treads between 42mm-60mm and 27.5 XC mountain treads from 1.9"-2.25". While this range of tire widths provide plenty of control and traction, they do not offer much as far as pinch-flat protection. To greatly reduce the likelihood of “pinch” or “snake-bike” style flats, the G27s feature Enve’s Wide Hookless Bead technology developed for its mountain rims. This technology makes use of a wider leading edge of the hookless bead, a broad surface that creates a more forgiving platform for tire bottom-outs. The result is the ability to confidently ride the tire pressures you want, without limitations. With the molded bead-lock, the tubeless G Series ensures the tires will remain secure and sealed over the roughest terrain.

The G27 was created for riders looking for the challenge of drop-bar riding over technical terrain that is traditionally considered mountain bike territory.  The higher air volume, durability and anti-flat performance of the G27 greatly benefit riders who are drawn to rough roads, single tracks, and multi-day bike packing adventures.
