ENVE SES 4.5 PRO
Product Details
The ENVE SES 4.5 PRO represents the evolution of a World Tour-proven platform, refined for elite-level performance without compromising the aerodynamics that made the SES 4.5 legendary. Developed with direct input from Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates - XRG over two seasons, this wheelset has already accumulated 20+ victories and proven itself at the highest level of professional racing, including Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Giro d'Italia, and the Critérium du Dauphiné.
At just 1295 grams including valves and tape, the SES 4.5 PRO sets a new benchmark by combining class-leading aerodynamic performance with breakthrough weight savings and responsiveness. ENVE achieved this performance leap through a new higher-modulus, lower areal weight carbon rim laminate that reduces weight while maintaining the structural integrity and aerodynamic precision demanded by the world's best riders. Lightweight rim graphics contribute additional weight savings without compromising the wheelset's striking visual appeal.
The all-new INNERDRIVE PRO Hubset elevates the SES 4.5 PRO beyond its predecessor with straight-pull construction, 40-tooth engagement, and professional-level upgrades that reduce drag, improve stiffness, and shed critical grams. Custom-designed PRO Ceramic Bearings with rust-resistant races and low-friction seals ensure lasting speed and silky-smooth rolling efficiency from the first pedal stroke to the final sprint, in any weather condition.
Maintaining the proven SES 4.5 dissimilar rim profile with 49mm front and 55mm rear depths, the PRO delivers the same system-optimized aerodynamic advantage, front shaped for crosswind stability, rear designed to recapture airflow for maximum drag reduction. Optimized for 28mm tire widths and tubeless performance, the SES 4.5 PRO delivers confident, precise handling whether navigating technical cobbled classics, powering through summit finishes, or sprinting for the line.
Built for cyclists who refuse to choose between aerodynamic efficiency, climbing performance, and outright speed, the SES 4.5 PRO is the ultimate expression of what a road racing wheelset can be. Every gram saved, every bearing friction reduced, and every aerodynamic detail refined adds up to a wheelset that doesn't just win races, it redefines what winning looks like.
