ENVE M5 Pro 29" MTB Wheel - Front
XC TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL
The all-new M5 Pro builds upon a legacy of cross-country racing performance with the ultimate balance of weight savings, power transfer, and durability. The “Pro” designation indicates the M5’s no-holds-barred approach to its development and racing pedigree. Built to ENVE’s INNERDRIVE hubs, the M5 Pro is ready for the most challenging XC race tracks.
The M5 Pro marks a new era in M Series cross-country wheels, raising the bar for speed, efficiency, and toughness. It is the result of a more than four-year development project during which ENVE worked closely with its professional athletes to create something that would give the fastest endurance athletes an edge. Unique front and rear rim construction combined with an all-new shallow rim shape offer an unmatched blend of characteristics, designed to go far and fast.
“When I first got on the M5 Pro over two years ago, it was a much different feeling than I was used to – it was smoother. I was used to the all-out stiffness of XC rims from years past. But the clock didn’t lie, I was getting PRs all over the place.” -Alexey Vermeulen

Additional Info:
A top priority in the M5 Pro's development was enhancing ride quality to reduce rider fatigue. A new novel rim shape and improved carbon laminate boosts rim compliance by over 25%. This allows the rim to contour to the trail, absorbing repeated impacts before they transfer to the rider. To support the ever-increasing widths of modern cross-country tires, the M5 Pro has been widened to a 29mm internal rim width at the front and 27mm at the rear. Adding width and reducing height in a carbon rim both inherently add weight, which made the creation of the wider, shallower, and lighter M5 Pro a true engineering challenge.
Many of the ultralight wheels on the market sacrifice durability, ride quality, and serviceability in favor of all-out weight reduction. The M5 Pro however sheds weight without compromise by using smarter construction and carbon layup, as well as lightweight but reliable hubs, spokes, and nipples.
The M5 Pro features ENVE’s patented Wide Hookless Bead technology, which improves impact resistance and reduces pinch flats by 23% over the previous generation. The rear rim features a wider wall than the front, addressing higher pinch flat rates in rear rims.
ENVE’s Innerdrive hubs are in the center of all M5 Pro builds, featuring ENVE’s proven oversized ratchet system. Riders can choose from 40, 60, 80, or 100 tooth ratchets to suit their riding style and engagement preference.
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 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 Straight-Pull 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.
