ENVE SES 4.5C Tubeless Disc Wheelset

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 tires, 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 tire optimized 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 re-design 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 the imperfect pavement. Like the rest of the SES wheel line, the SES 4.5 has been optimized 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 tire 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, that, when impacted, will reduce the likelihood of pinch-flatting a tubeless tire.

We recommend using our fit tool to help you achieve the perfect fit to ensure comfort and maximum performance. Our cuts are specifically engineered to be tight-fitting, allowing for improved aerodynamics and reducing wind resistance. A snug fit also helps with muscle support, preventing chafing and promoting better circulation during long rides. Our Size Guide also has additional measurements should you have any questions.

We recommend a few simple steps to ensure that you get the most out of our garments. When washing, avoid putting the goods in a cycle with other clothes such as jeans or shirts with buttons. If this is necessary, please ensure that a Pedal Mafia wash bag is used at all times. This will ensure that buttons and zips do not snag on material and cause damage to your new kits. Our garments require a gentle cold wash and cannot be bleached. We use a wide range of fabric types and recommend you discontinue use immediately if you feel you have had or are showing symptoms of an allergic reaction. For more care instructions, see thetag on your garment.
