ENVE SES 4.5

Description

ENVE SES 4.5 – Speed Without Compromise

If maximum speed is what matters most, regardless of the surface or conditions, the ENVE SES 4.5 is the obvious choice. A wheelset created with the legendary cobbles of Paris–Roubaix and shifting winds in mind, it was designed from the ground up for wide tires and real-world racing conditions. It was the SES 4.5 that set a new standard in aerodynamics for wheels with high-volume tires.
The latest generation has been thoroughly refined—it’s lighter, faster, and even more versatile.
