ENVE Composites G23

The G23 features a 23mm internal rim width, which is optimized for gravel tires ranging from 35mm to 45mm in width. This range provides the ideal balance of stability and handling for mixed-surface riding.

Yes, the G23 is designed specifically for tubeless clincher setups. The hookless bead design relies on a tubeless tire's bead to create a secure seal, which also helps significantly reduce the risk of pinch flats.

The hub is compatible with Shimano HG and SRAM XD/XDR freehub bodies, covering the vast majority of modern gravel drivetrains. You will need to select the correct freehub option for your specific cassette during setup.

The wider, rounded profile of the hookless bead creates a larger surface area for the tire to rest against during an impact. This design prevents the tire sidewall from being pinched against a sharp metal edge, reducing pinch-flat incidents by up to 60% compared to traditional hooked rims.

The Innerdrive mechanism uses oversized steel ratchets designed for high durability and reliable power transfer. While robust, it is a sealed cartridge bearing system, so you should perform standard periodic checks for bearing smoothness and clean the ratchet mechanism annually to ensure consistent engagement.

Absolutely. The G23 was engineered specifically for demanding gravel racing and mixed-surface terrain. Between the molded spoke hole technology, which reinforces the rim structure, and the pinch-flat resistance, it is built to handle the abuse of long, challenging off-road pursuits.
