WHAT IT IS:
Hot on the heels of the Foundation Collection road ENVE 45 & 65, and the mountain AM30 launch comes the introduction of Foundation Gravel in the form of two new wheels –the AG25 (700c) and AG28 (650b). Two all-new wheelset that follow the Foundation ethos of offering best-in-class performance for drop-bar off-road adventurers.
WHAT IS AG? AG stands for Adventure/Gravel. With more and more road riders looking for new challenges on the roads less traveled, we wanted to build a wheelset that is equally at home one a multi-day off-road adventure as it is on the DK race course. Regardless the AG25 and AG28 are ready for adventure.
KEY POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION: •Rim Shape/Construction –Shallow cross-section allows for improved vibration absorption and compliance•Lightweight –The AG model rims are competitively light-weight and on par with rims positioned at a higher MSRP. The weight of the AG25 700c rim only is 355g•Molded Spoke Hole Technology –External nipples•Anti-Pinch Flat Technology –Like the G Series G23 & G27, the AG25 & AG28 feature our patent pending Wide Hookless Bead which is a broad impact absorbing leading edge that improves pinch flat protection by over 50% when compared to a traditional hookless bead•Hookless Bead design •Rim widths optimized for modern gravel tires•AG25 = 25mm inner rim width, best for tires 36mm -45mm•AG28 = 28mm inner rim width, best for tires 47mm –2.25”
