ENVE Composites SES Front

No, this wheel features a hookless bead design and is strictly for tubeless setups. You must use tubeless-ready tires and sealant to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The rim is optimized for 27mm to 28mm tires. This width provides the best balance of aerodynamic efficiency and comfort, aligning perfectly with the 25mm internal rim width.

Hookless rims require you to adhere to specific tire pressure limits, typically lower than traditional hooked rims. Always check your tire manufacturer's recommended pressure range for hookless compatibility to prevent tire blow-off.

While the 50mm depth offers significant aerodynamic advantages on flats and rolling terrain, the re-engineered, lighter carbon construction makes it surprisingly capable on climbs. It is designed as an all-around race wheel rather than a dedicated aero-only option.

ENVE's Molded Spoke Hole Technology increases durability by maintaining continuous carbon fiber integrity around the spoke holes. This means you generally require less frequent truing compared to drilled rims, but standard hub maintenance for the stainless steel bearings still applies.
