With so many products out there on the market for various purpose - XC, AM, FR, or DH - ENVE compose a new product to fill the need of the good wheelset for the Downhill scene, and this new downhill wheelset from ENVE which is later known as ENVE Composites M90 Ten Wheels have fulfill the requirements for the downhill scenes; light and strong.

IMPRESSIONS
This is one of the great product for the downhill scene today, and really worth to be owned and to be installed on the bike; it will make the bike look more better. As one of the leading brand on the mountain biking scene, actually there will be no doubt about this product, and just like its previous wheels, the M70 wheels, the M90 wheels also have technology that incorporated to get best result.
Basically, the M series on ENVE's wheels are designed for the riders to get new experience on any terrain; it will give more confident. One of the technology that applied in M90 Wheels are the usage of the conical spokes, and the result is the wheelset will be stronger, reliable, and saving weight. This is not a surprise because almost all ENVE's products, especially the wheelset light but at the same time also strong.
RIDING TEST
The lateral stiffness combined with the light weight of the wheelset really adds to the slingshot feeling out of corners - the harder this wheelset up, the down ride will be faster.
The first run of the year was down Ninja Cougar, a trail track known for some incredible berms with some serious spot and the benefits of the wheel under pressure were made very apparent. From here the wheels have been down everything from the full Oriental Express, Afternoon Delight and Tech Noir, to the Canadian Open, plenty of classic old school with Joyride and Schleyer, and everything in-between. This M90 Wheels are never disappointed.
DURABILITY & IMPROVEMENT
After beating on the M90s in the real trail and some local trails around home for a good amount of time baffled by the lack of maintenance required, "lack of" here translating to zero! Other than a few scuffs on the walls of the rims and on the stickers. If there any thing could be improve, maybe for the decal aspect - almost all ENVE's wheelset just got same decals one and another. But, this is just a little things on the great product, and for the simplicity fans, this wheelset is perfect and worth to be owned!
Just to be remembered, this wheelset is build special for professional riders that maybe have been sponsored by the brand, so if you are just mountain biking fans without any sponsors, this wheelset maybe is too expensive though it worth with the technology - the price of a pair of this wheelset even more expensive than certain fullbike on the market!
