ENVE SES 4.5 Wheelset

The ENVE Composites SES 4.5 Wheelset is ENVE’s benchmark aero road wheelset, designed to deliver high-speed efficiency without sacrificing stability, control, or everyday usability. Proven in professional racing and demanding real-world conditions, the SES 4.5 balances aerodynamic advantage with confident handling across flats, rolling terrain, and fast descents.

Built using ENVE’s Smart ENVE System (SES) design philosophy, the 4.5 features asymmetric rim depths, 49mm front and 55mm rear, to optimize airflow, crosswind stability, and predictable steering. This front-to-rear differentiation improves control in variable wind conditions while maximizing aerodynamic efficiency where it matters most.

The modern wide internal rim profile is optimized for today’s wider road tires, improving tire shape, reducing rolling resistance, and increasing cornering support. Combined with ENVE’s hookless tubeless-ready rim design and Wide Hookless Bead, the SES 4.5 delivers precise tire fit, enhanced impact resistance, and a smoother ride at lower pressures, without compromising speed.

Positioned between the SES 3.4 and SES 6.7, the SES 4.5 is ideal for riders who want one wheelset that excels at high-speed road riding, making it a go-to choice for racing, fast group rides, and performance-focused endurance builds.
