M Series Carbon MTB Wheelsets — the new Australian standard for ride quality and durability
The culmination of a four-year collaborative R&D project with professional athletes and teams, on top of more than 15-years of groundbreaking mountain wheel designs, has delivered a new benchmark for performance to Australian Riders.

When speed matters most
"PRO" designates M Series wheel models developed in collaboration with the best athletes in the world and establishes the foundation upon which the M Series is built.
PURPOSE BUILT
Each M Series wheel model is purpose-built to deliver best-in-class performance for its specific application.
New Shapes, new features
Subtleties in rim shape drastically affect rim performance
new rim shape
- Wider Front Wheel - Increases tyre volume and support, allowing for lower tyre pressure and more traction
- Narrower Rear Wheel - Reduces tyre volume and support for more forgiveness and improved rolling resistance
external spoke nipples
All M Series rims feature ENVE's patented Molded Spoke Hole technology (US Patent # 8,313,155 B2) with external locking nipples. Additionally, each nipple is equipped with a nyloc insert to keep spokes tensioned and wheels true.
Rim Depth and sidewalls
- Depth - Shallow 20mm depth for optimal balance of compliance, weight savings, and reliability
- Sidewalls - The concavity of the sidewalls aids in striking a balance between durability and compliance
rim leading edge
- Front - leading edge is narrower to save weight, so that more material can be deployed to the rear wheel where damage is more likely to occur
- Rear - leading edge is wider to enhance pinch-flat protection and impact toughness
real-world tough
In the lab and between the tape, the new M Series is stronger than ever.
basically, send it.
More than 18 years of impact testing and real world riding have provided us with a baseline and the data for improvements. With the culmination of 322 prototypes and 1,270 rims over a four-year R&D project, its time to "send it."
basically, send it.
ENVE pioneered two game-changing technologies with the objective of eliminating the dreaded pinch-flat forever. Technologies such as the Protective Rim Strip and Wide Hookless Bead distribute impact energy and provide enhanced protection to the tyre and rim.
Wide Hookless Bead
Featured on the M5, M6, M8
- Blunt leading rim edge dissipates impact forces across a broader surface area and reduces the likelihood of pinch-flats by 50% in lab tests
- On the trail, Australian riders report having gone seasons with no pinch-flats since the introduction of this tech to their rides
- Gen. 5 M Series' more compliant design further aids in pinch-flat reduction in the tough Australian terrain.
protective rim strip
Featured on the M9
- Enhanced Tubeless - The Protective Rim Strip eliminates the need for rim tape, and provides added confidence that should a spoke break while riding, your tape will not be punctured and tubeless seal will remain intact
- Isolated Air Chamber - Should the rim be damaged, the Protective Rim Strip delivers and independent seal between tire and the rim, preventing air loss
- Eliminates the need for assistance from tire inserts to prevent pinch-flats, saving weight
- These features make it the world's most successful wheelset in the World Cup today and an ideal solution for gravity racing and E-MTB
“I was blown away by these things. We definitely dinged a couple alloy rims in our test group, but these ones held up through thick and thin. They were impressive. They weren’t overly stiff either – that’s something people often critique about carbon wheels, and these were definitely more on the compliant side. I’ll give them a good shoutout for building strong, comfortable wheels.”
– Matt Beer, Pinkbike
