ENVE SES 4.5 Wheel

The mixed depth design balances handling and efficiency. The shallower 49mm front rim improves steering stability and crosswind handling, while the deeper 55mm rear rim enhances power transfer and aerodynamics for sustained speed.

These wheels feature a hookless bead profile, which is designed specifically for tubeless-ready tires. While they can technically accept some clincher tires, you must ensure your tires are tubeless-compatible and rated for hookless rims to ensure a safe and secure fit.

These wheels are optimized for modern, high-volume gravel tires wider than 44mm. This internal width provides a stable platform that allows you to run lower pressures for better traction and comfort without sacrificing rim protection.

The wide, hookless bead profile is engineered to absorb impact energy more effectively than traditional hooked rims. This design significantly reduces the likelihood of pinch flats, allowing you to ride confidently over rough, technical terrain at lower tire pressures.

Yes, these wheels are compatible with Centerlock disc brake rotors. Ensure your current rotor setup uses the Centerlock standard, as 6-bolt rotors will not mount directly without an adapter.

The G SES 4.5 is a high-performance wheelset that bridges the gap between racing and adventure. Its aerodynamic profile and high-engagement hub make it fast enough for gravel racing, while the durability and impact resistance make it equally capable for long, technical backcountry rides.
