The ENVE AR40 Rear Carbon Disc Wheel is engineered for riders who want dependable speed, stability, and adaptability across sealed roads, rough backroads, and light gravel. As part of ENVE’s Foundation Series, the AR40 combines aerodynamic efficiency with a modern wide‑rim profile, creating a rear wheel that performs reliably in real‑world conditions rather than just on smooth race circuits.

This rear wheel is a popular choice for custom road builds, endurance bike setups, especially for riders who mix road riding with occasional all‑road adventures.

Aerodynamic Design with Real‑World Stability

The 40 mm rim depth of the AR40 is optimised to provide aerodynamic benefit without compromising handling. As a rear wheel, it helps maintain speed efficiently while keeping the bike predictable during gusty conditions and long efforts. This depth works well for endurance riders and racers alike, especially on Brisbane’s open roads and rolling terrain.

Wide Rim Profile for Tubeless Performance

With a 25 mm internal rim width, the AR40 rear wheel is designed for modern wide tyres that balance speed and comfort. The rim supports tubeless‑ready road and all‑road tyres, allowing lower pressures for improved grip and reduced rolling resistance.

ENVE recommends a 27 mm tyre as the aero‑optimised starting point, while the rim is approved for tyres up to 50 mm, giving riders flexibility to tune their setup for road, endurance, or light gravel riding.

Built to ENVE Gravel Standards

Although positioned as an all‑road wheel, the AR40 has been tested and qualified to ENVE’s gravel standards, offering added confidence when road surfaces deteriorate. The wide hookless bead design and reinforced rim profile improve tyre stability and reduce pinch‑flat risk when riding rougher conditions.

This makes the AR40 rear wheel a strong option for riders seeking one versatile wheel that can handle multiple disciplines without compromise.

ENVE INNERDRIVE™ Foundation Hub

The rear wheel is built around the ENVE INNERDRIVE™ Foundation hub, designed for reliable engagement, smooth rolling, and consistent performance over long service intervals. The HG freehub body ensures compatibility with Shimano‑style road drivetrains, making it easy to integrate into common road bike builds.

High‑quality Sapim CX‑Ray J‑bend spokes and brass nipples provide a strong, durable build that holds tension well, even under heavy training loads.

Disc Brake Optimised

Designed exclusively for disc brake systems, the AR40 rear wheel delivers predictable braking performance in wet and dry conditions alike. The Centerlock interface allows straightforward rotor installation during professional servicing, making maintenance simple for riders who train year‑round.
