Comparing the Enve SES 3.4 regular to the AR, the weight savings for the AR seems significant (rims for the wheelset about 130g difference). Does that little bead hook really weigh that much? Here's the diagram of the 2 models, with the AR of note also a good amount wider and a tiny bit deeper. The AR would be more aero with a wider tire (eg. 30mm), but would this be more aero than running the nonAR with a 25mm tire? On Enve's site at least, the cost is identical.
