I've been using an Enve 8.9 wheel set this past season for mostly OLY distance racing (got the last set produced directly from Enve last year). Been satisfied but I'm now thinking of purchasing a rear disc to use with the front Enve. I thought I heard Enve might be making a new disc but would like to hear what others recommend would be the best combo. Budget not an issue....looking for the best option out there.

Mavic's disc wheels are ridiculously overpriced. No reason to consider them.
They are also only available with tubular rims.

Running a HED JET+ on my P5 with no issues. Maybe consider a HED or FLO disc?

Are there any downsides? Well, yes and for that reason this can’t be the perfect wheel. There’s certainly no escaping the price, which most of us will equate to robbery. Owing to the exquisite build quality, the price could be forgiven if the Lightweight Autobahn was perfect, but sadly it’s too narrow.
The rim width is only 20mm and we now know that wider tyres offer optimal aerodynamics. Even mounting a 23mm tubular tyre is not suitable, as the tyre bulges and doesn’t sit flush with the rim – something widely considered to be sub-optimal for aerodynamics.
Furthermore, the disc is only available as a tubular. Owing to the removal of the glue interface, clinchers offer lower rolling resistance than tubulars and the fastest tubeless tyres are faster still.

Who the hell is buying those discs!? They're like $3k in Australia.

I owned a Lightweight wheel for a while. Of all the lenticular disks I've owned, it was the slowest.
The bump disk rules. And right now, Hed is the only bump disk maker.
My latest book: "Out of the Melting Pot, Into the Fire" is on sale on Amazon and at other online and local booksellers

It does fit indeed, the P4 is giving problems, the P5 not....
