ENVE SES 4.5 Wheels Overview

The ENVE SES 4.5 are aerodynamic carbon road wheels designed to go fast, everywhere. Originally developed for the cobbles and crosswinds of Paris-Roubaix, they have been redesigned to deliver more speed in a lighter package, while maintaining stability and control in real racing conditions.

The SES 4.5 represents ENVE’s modern performance philosophy: aerodynamics optimized for higher-volume tires, excellent efficiency at high speed, and predictable handling—even in strong crosswinds.

Aerodynamics Designed for the Real World

Unlike wheels developed only for ideal conditions, the ENVE SES 4.5 are optimized for speed across nearly all terrains, using modern 27–28 mm road tires.

• Differentiated front and rear profiles for optimal balance

• Reduced aerodynamic drag while improving lateral stability

• Consistent performance on fast roads, rough surfaces, and windy sections

The result is a wheelset that is fast on flat terrain, efficient on rolling sections, and confidence-inspiring when conditions become demanding.

Carbon Rims: Design and Dimensions

The ENVE SES 4.5 rims feature modern dimensions, perfectly suited to today’s tubeless road tires.

Rim dimensions

• Depth:

  • Front: 50 mm

  • Rear: 56 mm

• Internal width: 25 mm

• External width: 32 mm

• Spoke count: 24 / 24

The 25 mm internal width optimizes tire shape, improves grip, and reduces aerodynamic losses caused by an inefficient tire-rim interface.

Tubeless Only: Efficiency, Comfort, and Control

The ENVE SES 4.5 are designed exclusively for tubeless use.

• Optimized tire size: 27–28 mm

• Minimum labeled tire size: 27 mm

• Maximum tire pressure (minimum tire): 80 psi / 5.5 bar

• Tire type: Tubeless Ready

• Tubeless rim tape width: 29 mm

This design delivers:

• reduced rolling resistance,

• improved comfort on imperfect road surfaces,

• increased grip at high speed.

ENVE INNERDRIVE™ Premium Hub

The SES 4.5 wheelset is equipped with the ENVE INNERDRIVE™ Premium straight-pull hub, developed specifically for the high-end SES range.

• Fast engagement

• Excellent power transfer efficiency

• Durable and precise construction

• Straight-pull spoke lacing

The INNERDRIVE™ hub contributes directly to the wheels’ dynamic and responsive feel, particularly during accelerations and hard efforts.
