ENVE SES Gravel Wheel

The mixed-depth design balances handling and efficiency. The shallower 49mm front rim improves steering control and stability in crosswinds, while the deeper 55mm rear rim maximizes power transfer and aerodynamic efficiency.

These wheels feature a hookless rim profile, which is strictly designed for tubeless-ready tires. While you can run them with tubeless setups, they are not compatible with traditional clincher tires that require a hooked bead.

These wheels are optimized for high-volume gravel tires wider than 44mm. This width takes full advantage of the 30mm internal rim width, providing a stable platform that reduces the risk of pinch flats.

The Innerdrive hub system is designed for durability and ease of maintenance, but it does feature a unique preload adjustment system. While basic maintenance is straightforward, we recommend consulting the ENVE technical manual or a professional mechanic if you are unfamiliar with the specific preload settings.

No, these wheels are designed specifically for 12x142mm thru-axle standards. They are not compatible with quick-release frames or forks.

The hookless bead creates a wider, flatter surface area at the rim edge compared to traditional hooked rims. This design prevents the tire sidewall from being pinched against a sharp edge during hard impacts, significantly reducing the likelihood of a flat.
