ENVE SES 2.3 Carbon Climbing Wheelset - Disc - Shimano/SRAM 11-12s - Black Decals

The ENVE SES 2.3 is the ultimate dream for every climber and mountain goat who lives for the elevation gain. Where aerodynamics become less relevant on extremely steep climbs than the battle against gravity, this wheelset truly shines. With a total weight of only 1197 grams, this set transforms your bike into a feather-light climbing machine. Every pedal stroke feels immediate and explosive thanks to the minimal rotational mass, making it easier to accelerate on double-digit gradients. But don’t be mistaken: the SES 2.3 is not just a climbing marvel. On the descent, the set offers a level of stiffness and precision rarely seen in wheels of this weight class. This gives you the confidence to take hairpin turns sharply and descend at high speed, knowing stability is assured. It’s the perfect choice for the rider who counts every gram but refuses to compromise on legendary ENVE reliability.

The technological superiority of the SES 2.3 lies in the specific carbon lay-up that ENVE has perfected in their factory in Utah (USA). By usingcontinuous carbon fibersthrough the spoke holes and rim edges, the structural integrity is maximized while excess resin and material are eliminated at non-critical points. The rim features theWide Hookless Beadtechnology. This widened rim edge acts as a buffer against hard impacts (for example, a pothole during a fast descent), reducing the chance of a pinch flat by more than 50%. Because the rim is hookless, the tire fits perfectly against the sidewall, resulting in a more stable air chamber and more predictable handling. The set is fully optimized for tubeless systems, allowing for lower tire pressure for superior grip and vibration damping on rough asphalt.
