    • 200+ competitors raced on ENVE wheelsets, the most popular choice was the SES 7.8 Clincher

    • The ENVE Aero TT handlebar representation doubled from 22 bars in 2016 to 44 bars in 2017

Industry
While our # 1 priority for our presence at Kona is to support all ENVE athletes, it’s also the largest triathlon industry tradeshow. Over the week we met with partners, discussed future projects, and did what we like best – we rode our bikes! Special thank you to Betty Designs, Coeur Sports, Topical Edge, and Wyn Republic for a great time on some amazing tropical roads.

Congratulations to all of you, our loyal customers, who participated in this year’s event and made it our BEST Ironman World Championship to date.

See you all next year in Kona.
