When it comes to wheels, there are few brands that actually produce a QUALITY wheelset where when you say the brand name, nothing else needs to be said and Enve is truly one of them. Are they pricy, yes. Are they quality, definitely yes. They are hookless, keep that in mind, however most tires that are coming out these days are all hookless compatible so finding compatible tires really is not a problem anymore.
They are very responsive wheels, and I have this set and a set of 4.5 SES and to be honest, I mostly use the 2.3s on a day to day basis. Yes, the 4.5s are faster, you can feel it on the flats and the downhills however with the 2.3s you never really have to worry about fighting the bike in crosswinds so from a day to day perspective it is a lot more realistic of a wheelset to use.
I got sick and tired with wrestling with tires (tubeless ready or not) to fit on TR wheels. I searched and searched for a good set of disc road wheels and found these Shimanos. They are a great bargain for a fairly stiff and not too heavy wheel set. The hubs spin very well! I swear I'm going faster with this new wheel set even though I don't run tubeless anymore. I'd highly recommend this wheelset. I haven't had them long and so cannot speak to durability. My guess is that they will do great.
It's a work in progress for me on whether I like these wheels or not. There does feel to be an aero gain on the roads compared to my previous carbon wheelset. I can see a 2mph uptick on the flat roads. However, on rougher roads, the ride is pretty harsh compared to my previous wheelset. I may have to play with tire pressure because internal rim wide has made the tires measure wider and I can drop a few psi. The big disappointment is crosswinds. It's pretty windy where I live and despite claims, the wheels are pretty prone to jerking the wheel from under me in a gust. The wheels have made my bike more nervous on the road.
I purchased this wheel set as an upgrade from the stock wheels on my Canyon Roadlite CF bike. The ride is much improved, as the bike feels more like it should: a flat handlebar road bike.
These wheels can be run as tubeless, but I'm using them with inner tubes. The one thing I find a bit confusing is the 72 psi maximum inflation. I assume that applies if you're riding tubeless on gravel. I use this bike only on paved roads, and my Vittoria Zaffiro tires have a minimum psi of 87.
