ENVE SES Gravel Wheel

The mixed profile—49mm front and 55mm rear—is designed to balance handling and speed. The shallower front rim improves stability in crosswinds, while the deeper rear rim maximizes aerodynamic efficiency and power transfer.

These wheels are optimized for modern gravel tires wider than 44mm. Because they feature a hookless bead design, you must use tubeless-ready tires that are compatible with hookless rims to ensure a safe and secure fit.

The wide hookless bead is engineered to reduce the risk of pinch flats, which is a common issue when running lower tire pressures on rough gravel terrain. It creates a more durable rim edge that protects your tire casing during impacts.

While the ceramic bearings in the Innerdrive Pro hub offer exceptionally smooth rolling and efficiency, they perform best when kept clean. We recommend a standard maintenance schedule, especially if you frequently ride in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions.

No, this wheelset is designed specifically for tubeless setups. You must use tubeless-ready tires, and while you can technically run an inner tube inside a tubeless tire, the rim profile is optimized for the performance and puncture protection of a tubeless system.

Yes, this wheelset is designed for disc brakes using the Centerlock rotor standard. It uses a 12x142mm thru-axle spacing, which is the current standard for most modern gravel bikes.
