ENVE Composites SES Wheel

No, these wheels feature a hookless bead design and are strictly engineered for tubeless-only setups. You must use tubeless-ready tires to ensure a safe and secure fit.

While the rim can accommodate a range of sizes, it is aerodynamically optimized for tires between 27mm and 28mm. The minimum tire size allowed is 27mm.

The hookless design creates a more precise rim shape, which improves tubeless reliability and reduces the likelihood of pinch-flatting. It also allows for a smoother transition between the tire and rim, enhancing overall aerodynamic efficiency.

The Innerdrive mechanism is designed for durability and reliable engagement, but like any high-performance hub, it benefits from periodic cleaning and lubrication. The system is user-friendly, allowing for easy access to the ratchets if you need to swap them out or perform routine service.

While the 56mm depth is optimized for speed and aerodynamics, this wheel has been re-engineered to be significantly lighter than its predecessors. It is versatile enough to handle undulating terrain and climbs comfortably, making it a strong all-around choice for varied road rides.

Instead of drilling holes into the carbon rim, which can compromise structural integrity, ENVE molds the spoke holes directly into the rim. This maintains the continuous fiber orientation around the hole, resulting in a stronger, more durable wheel.
