When speed across most any terrain is priority number one, look no further than the SES 4.5. Originally designed for the cobbles and crosswinds of Paris-Roubaix to provide an aero benefit with high volume tyres, the SES 4.5 was the first of its kind and is now redesigned to deliver more speed in a lighter package.
The ENVE house favourite for its outright speed and confidence-inspiring ride, the SES 4.5 has been re-engineered to reduce weight, increase aero efficiency, and further expand its capabilities when the going gets fast. Whether you’re pinning on the number for race day or seeking the fastest road wheelset across undulating terrain, the SES 4.5 is in the sweet spot for speed.
Originally designed to provide an aerodynamic advantage across the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix when running high-volume 28-32mm tyres, the SES 4.5 AR was the first of its kind when it was introduced in 2016. New for 2022, we’ve taken all the best features of the SES 4.5 AR, such as the high-volume tyre optimised rim design and shaping that gives it class-leading aerodynamics and stability and updated it to include anti pinch-flat technology along with a lighter more refined laminate to reduce weight and improve the ride feel. The redesign gives the new SES 4.5 greater versatility through pinch-flat resistance and a reduction in weight with zero compromises to speed.
With an internal rim width of 25mm, confident handling results, making the SES 4.5 a game-changer on technical courses with imperfect pavement. Like the rest of the SES wheel line, the SES 4.5 has been optimised for road tubeless performance and features a hookless bead design that allows for the precise rim dimensions required to achieve the best tubeless performance. To further improve tubeless tyre and rim reliability, this aerodynamic carbon fibre wheelset features ENVE’s patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, a design element at the leading edge of the rim that provides a more forgiving surface, which when impacted, will reduce the likelihood of pinch-flating a tubeless tyre.
