ENVE M930 MTB Wheelset – Chris King Hubs

The ENVE M930 Chris King hub wheelset is the king of downhill race wheels.

With over 80 Downhill World Cup wins and podiums achieved using ENVE's carbon DH wheels, the M930 has a lot to live up to. But in typical ENVE style, the best just got better, the M930 continuing ENVE's DH legacy while adding a 20% strength increase and exclusive protection from pinch flats to create the ultimate race wheel.

With its 30mm internal rim width, the M930 is optimised for 2.35 to 2.6” tubeless tyres. The wheels come in 27.5 and 29” sizes to cater for tried and tested geometry and the new generation of 29er DH bikes. The 29er version of the M930 has already been race proven on the DH World Cup Circuit under Santa Cruz Syndicate and Intense Factory Racing riders.

ENVE's innovative patent-pending Protective Rim Strip is the secret to outstanding DH performance. Race-proven on the DH World Cup circuit, the custom rim strip is moulded in-house by ENVE and works alongside the rim's full carbon construction to absorb impact energy – protecting the tyre and rim against the biggest hits and pinch flats.

The strip also means no tape is required and that the air chamber is completely sealed, maintaining air pressure even if the rim gets damaged in the heat of racing, so you'll be able to finish your run.

This confidence in your equipment means that your mental game will be raised, your tyre pressures optimised for maximum control and you'll finally get to make the most of your DH rig's capabilities. In short, the M930 is more wheel than you'll ever need – increasing speeds and handling for less effort.

As with all ENVE's rims, the M930 is handmade at ENVE HQ in Utah, USA, from raw uni-directional carbon fibre. The M930's bespoke carbon laminate construction process also utilises patented moulded spoke holes, removable bladders for weight-saving precision and a gorgeous paint-free finish to further reduce weight while maintaining strength, stiffness and allowing the beautiful handmade quality to shine through.

This wheelset is built around Chris King ISO hubs. Precision mountain bike tools, the ISO hubs use one-piece solid axles that help suspension work better and transfer every watt to the ground. With heavy duty bearing seals and a threaded driveshell seal ring, the ISO hubs thwart mud, water and contaminants.

The hubs use bearings that Chris King manufacture in house. The bearings are used in surgical steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. Chris King hubs get better with age: as the bearing tracks burnish, they get faster. 72 points of engagement gets power to the ground faster and creates the legendary Chris King ‘buzz’. All its hubs and bearings are fully serviceable.

Built in-house at Saddleback our wheels are fully customisable, and we are able to offer a range of different specifications and hub colours to help create a totally unique set of bespoke wheels. Please be in contact if you would like to discuss build options.
