Enve Foundation AR40 White 2026 (Front wheel)

ENVE Foundation AR40 White 40mm Tubeless Carbon Road Front Wheel 2026

The ENVE Foundation AR40 front wheel was developed for road and all-road cyclists seeking maximum versatility, aerodynamic efficiency, and reliability. Part of the Foundation range, it incorporates all of ENVE's expertise with a 40mm deep carbon rim and a 25mm internal width, ideal for modern, higher-volume tires.

Designed to ride fast on the road while maintaining stability and control on rough terrain or light gravel rides, this front wheel benefits from a profile optimized in the Mercedes-Benz Formula One wind tunnel to offer real aerodynamic gains in real riding conditions.

Compatible exclusively with tubeless tires, it benefits from the ENVE wide hookless design, patented molded spoke holes and the ENVE INNERDRIVE™ hub to guarantee robustness, steering precision and low maintenance in the long term.
