Originally conceptualized for the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix through Enve's partnership with Team Dimension Data, the SES 4.5 Disc was the first of its kind, a bike wheel that could rule the cobbles with control while putting down a searing pace. And now it's better than ever, thanks to Enve's recently released 'Innerdrive™ System, an all-new hub with a clever spoke arrangement and a flurry of new tech that promises to elevate this Tour de France-conquering wheel to even greater heights. For more on the new tech, head over to the AC journal where we breakdown the updated in more detail.
The Enve SES 4.5 delivers top-shelf aero performance, stability, and comfort for virtually any road surface. Across all metrics, it excels. So much so that riders such as the all-conquering Tadej Pogačar choose it as their all-race tire, even when the mountains loom: it's so fast on the flats that any slight weight penalty over the mountain-specific SES 2.3 becomes moot over a long day in the saddle that trends towards the valley floor.
One of the core reasons for the SES 4.5's stability at speed is its internal rim width of 25mm, which amplifies confidence across all surfaces, making the wheel a game-changer on technical courses with imperfect pavé. Confidence supported by the SES 4.5's hookless bead design to achieve the best possible tubeless performance and pinch-flat resistance.
