Description
ENVE SES 4.5 PRO Wheelset | 12/142 | HG
Developed with the pros. Built for the climbs.
The ENVE SES 4.5 PRO Wheelset is the latest evolution in race-proven performance, designed in collaboration with Tadej Poga?ar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG. Purpose-built for smooth roads, hilly terrain and alpine ascents, this premium wheelset blends lightweight construction with aerodynamic efficiency for riders chasing every marginal gain.
Born from over two seasons of elite-level feedback, the SES 4.5 PRO was engineered to shed weight without sacrificing strength or ride quality. ENVE’s Wide Hookless Bead has been reimagined with reduced material, trimming nearly 50g per rim, while a narrowed rim profile and updated carbon layup provide stiffness and impact resistance. With an inner width of 23.5mm, the rim is optimised for 28mm tyres—preferred by the pros for climbing speed and reduced rolling resistance.
Lightweight Alpina aero spokes and alloy nipples further enhance the build, while the new Innerdrive PRO hubset shaves an additional 60g. This ultralight system features ENVE’s own ceramic bearings and a 40-tooth ratchet for low-drag engagement, speed, and long-lasting durability. Every detail, including lighter decals, has been fine-tuned for elite performance.
