ENVE SES 4.5 Aero Carbon Wheelset - Disc - Shimano/SRAM 11-12s - Black Decals

The ENVE SES 4.5 is the favorite wheelset of both professional riders and demanding amateurs worldwide, and for good reason. It is the ultimate 'real-world fast' wheelset that combines speed on flat terrain with a weight that competes with many climbing wheels. The 4.5 was originally developed for the tough cobblestone classics, where aerodynamics are essential but the roads are relentless. With rim heights of 50mm at the front and 56mm at the rear, this set cuts through the wind effortlessly, allowing you to maintain a higher cruising speed with less effort. It is the perfect upgrade for the racer who wants to structurally increase their average speed but also has the ambition to occasionally tackle a mountain cyclo. The SES 4.5 feels stable, aggressive, and incredibly fast from the very first rotation.

Technologically, the SES 4.5 is a masterpiece of aerodynamic integration. The profile is specifically optimized for tires with a width of 27mm to 28mm, the modern standard for speed and grip. The seamless transition between the tire and the hookless rim keeps the airflow attached to the rim longer (laminar flow), drastically reducing air resistance at various yaw angles. The wheels are equipped with ENVE's most advanced carbon architecture, which effectively filters road vibrations without losing stiffness in the final sprint. TheInnerdrive™ hubsnot only offer superior power transfer but also feature high-quality seals and bearings that require minimal maintenance, even in the most challenging weather conditions. The Wide Hookless Bead prevents rim damage from impacts, making this aerodynamic set extremely durable as well.
