Since I too have an ENVE 2.0 fork, I had looked into this. ENVE specs the 28 mm tire as the maximum tire width.

Other ENVE 2.0 fork users have successfully used 28 mm tires. Discussed here at Velo News.


The big Challenge tire [measured at 29 mm] barely fit inside the Enve fork on my test bike. It's important to set up the brakes using the quick release and the barrel adjuster so you can loosen both to get the wheel off.


Also here, and with an Ultremo:


This image is of a 28 ultremo r.1 on velocity a23 wheel. A few mm all around.

This poster reports fitting an Ultremo 28 mm ZX.

I have a wheelset with Velocity A23 (wide) rims on the bike and Schwalbe Ultremo ZX, 700x28 mounted which measures an actual 31MM across. There's 3MM on each side and about 5MM between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fork.
So, if your Ultremo 28 mm doesn't fit, it is an outlier.
