Product Details
The ENVE G SES 4.5 Wheelset is built for the full spectrum of modern gravel riding and racing, delivering versatility without compromise. Engineered to balance aerodynamic efficiency, weight savings, and confident handling, this wheelset is optimized for riders who demand speed across varied terrain without sacrificing responsiveness on climbs, accelerations, or technical sections.
Developed alongside elite athletes competing at the highest levels of gravel racing, the G SES 4.5 incorporates ENVE’s proven SES design philosophy with real-world gravel performance insights. Dissimilar front and rear rim depths—49mm front and 55mm rear—are shaped specifically for the unique airflow, stability, and efficiency requirements of each wheel position. Combined with a 30mm internal rim width optimized for modern high-volume gravel tires between 44–52mm, the result is measurable aerodynamic performance paired with predictable handling in rough conditions.
Built with technology derived from ENVE’s mountain bike lineup, the G SES 4.5 prioritizes impact toughness without excessive weight. Wide Hookless Bead technology improves pinch-flat resistance by dispersing impact energy across a broader leading edge, while advanced carbon construction enhances durability for demanding off-road terrain. At just 1565g for the wheelset, the G SES 4.5 delivers an exceptional balance of speed, compliance, and agility for riders who value nimble handling over maximum aero depth.
At the center of the system is ENVE’s Premium Innerdrive hub technology, featuring automatic preload adjustment, low-maintenance serviceability, and stainless steel bearings for smooth, reliable performance. Proudly manufactured in Ogden, Utah, every G SES rim is designed, tested, built, and assembled in-house to meet ENVE’s uncompromising standards for performance and quality.
