Versatile, aero, light, and fast, the SES 3.4 has been a staple in the SES wheel family. The newest iteration takes the best features of the previous generation SES 3.4 and 3.4 AR to make the ultimate modern road wheelset. There is simply nothing more versatile than the SES 3.4.
Comfortable on everything from baked hills to winding passes and fast tarmacked stretches of road, the SES 3.4 is adept at handling all terrains and conditions. As the most versatile wheel in the line, the SES 3.4 is the go-to for just about any terrain or surface conditions. From the Dolomites of the Giro d'Italia to the gravel of Unbound to the town sign sprint on the lunch ride, the 3.4 has proven time and time again that there are no limits on its capabilities.
The new SES 3.4 shares many similarities with the previous SES 3.4 AR, such as the 38mm front and 42mm rear rim profiles and 25mm inner width, while receiving a laminate update that reduces weight to 1390 grams for the wheelset. The high-volume design of the rim and Wide Hookless Bead technology not only makes the SES 3.4 a modern road wheel that is raced at the World Tour level, but it is also a favourite for mixed surface events due to its feature benefits that clearly separate it from other wheels in the same depth category.
Falling between the SES 2.3 and SES 4.5, the SES 3.4 is a clear choice for the rider seeking a lightweight option for any terrain, on any road. With an internal width of 25mm, the confidence in handling that comes with the rim and tyre volume makes it a game-changer on technical descents and rough pavement.
Tubeless Technology and Performance
Like the rest of the SES wheel line, the SES 3.4 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. A hookless rim design allows for machined metal tooling to establish a precise and consistent bead seat diameter that meets the defined requirement by ETRTO. That precision fitment between the tubeless tyre bead and the rim's bead seat ensures air and tyre retention.
To further tubeless tyre and rim reliability, the full carbon wheelset features Enve's patent-pending Wide Hookless Bead, which is a design element at the leading edge of the rim that provides a surface that, when impacted, will reduce the likelihood of pinch flatting a tubeless tyre. Tubeless allows you to run much lower tyre pressures for far greater comfort, traction, and efficiency, especially over poor road surfaces and gravel, all without sacrificing speed. The potential for pinch flats and, with sealant, debris punctures is all but eliminated.
