ENVE Composites SES 3.4 Rear Wheel

No, this wheel features a hookless rim profile designed exclusively for tubeless setups. You must use tubeless-compatible tires and sealant to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The rim is aerodynamically optimized for higher-volume tires, typically ranging from 27mm to 32mm. This width provides the best balance of stability, comfort, and aerodynamic efficiency for mixed-surface riding.

The wider, hookless bead profile creates a broader surface area for the tire to rest on. This design significantly reduces the likelihood of the tire being pinched against the rim edge during impacts, which helps prevent flats on rougher terrain.

The hub uses an Innerdrive mechanism with oversized steel ratchets and stainless steel sealed bearings. It is designed for high durability and reliable engagement, requiring only standard periodic cleaning and greasing to maintain smooth performance.

The SES 3.4 is engineered for maximum versatility, making it capable of handling everything from smooth tarmac to challenging mixed-surface routes. Its durable carbon construction and wide internal rim width are well-suited for light gravel and rougher road conditions.

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