ENVE M8 Wheels
Real-World Gravity Wheel
The new M8 is a wheelset designed for aggressive gravity and eMTB riding, from enduro to downhill. It’s built off what we learned from our M9 race development, with additional weight considerations for longer days on the trail. The new shape and features deliver more traction, durability, and comfort which translates to more speed and less fatigue. It features ENVE’s patented Wide Hookless Bead pinch flat prevention technology and is built to the proven ENVE Innerdrive hub system.

The unapologetic gravity wheel. The M8 has the durability of our downhill wheel without compromising weight. This wheel is suitable for chunkier trails and rated for any E-Bike use.
-
The M8 raises the bar for gravity wheel performance. In terms of objective improvements, the M8 is 73% more compliant than the previous generation M730, and 76% more compliant than the M930. In addition to compliance improvements, the M8 is 20% more impact-resistant when compared to the previous generation models.

Like all new M Series wheelsets, the M8 features unique front and rear rim design. To accommodate the modern rider’s preference for 2.4-2.5” wide tires, the M8’s front rim features an internal rim width of 32mm, and the rear is 29mm. The front rim’s additional width and lighter construction maximize compliance, traction, and tire stability. The rear rim has been optimized for power transmission, tracking, and durability.
Wide Hookless Bead Pinch Flat Protection
The M5 Pro, M6, and M8 wheels all feature ENVE’s patented Wide Hookless Bead technology built into the construction of the rim. It features a wide-rim bead to dissipate impact forces across a broader surface area when a tire is bottomed out on an object. This reduces the likelihood of pinch-flats by 50%. The rear rim features a wider rim wall than the front, as our data and real-world testing have found rear rims will pinch flat most often. The new M Series' compliant design further aids in pinch-flat reduction.
ENVE INNERDRIVE J-Bend Hubs
ENVE’s INNERDRIVE hub system refines and improves upon proven ratchet-driven technologies by increasing the diameter of the ratchets to allow for higher engagement without sacrificing durability. With options between 40, 60, 80, and 100t drive ratchet to tune the hub engagement rate to their preferences. With the highest tooth count, INNERDRIVE hubs will engage in as little as 3.6 degrees. Further benefits of the INNERDRIVE system include ENVE’s Perfect Preload system which delivers prolonged bearing life and minimal maintenance.
Unique Front and Rear Widths and Construction
Each wheel in the new M Series 5th Generation lineup features unique front and rear rim construction. The front rim is more compliant to allow the wheel and tire to contour over and around terrain, reducing the jarring sensations of repeated frontal impacts. The rear is firmer, to maximize power transmission and impact toughness. Widths are optimized for front and rear tires, with the front rim running slightly wider than the rear.
