Over a year of intensive development work on hubs, carbon layup, and manufacturing processes has resulted in the SES 4.5 PRO, the new benchmark for uncompromising racing performance. SES wheels are designed for real racing conditions: aerodynamic, lightweight, and stable. Different rim profiles ensure control in crosswinds and maximum speed, from professional racing to fast rides. With direct input from Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates XRG, the SES 4.5 PRO combines low weight, aerodynamics, and efficiency. The ideal wheelset, fast in the race, uncompromising on the road.
Progress at the highest level happens step by step. ENVE has consistently refined the proven SES 4.5 to achieve even more speed with less weight. Victories in the Tour de France, World Championships, and Tour of Flanders show how Tadej Pogačar made the SES 4.5 the dominant wheelset in the pro peloton—on cobblestones, in the mountains, and on the toughest courses in the world.
The focus was not on the lowest weight, but on maximum aerodynamics and efficiency. Together with UAE Team Emirates – XRG, an even more ambitious vision emerged: a wheelset that retains the aerodynamic advantages of the SES 4.5 while achieving the lightness of top-class mountain wheels.
The PRO seal stands for products that are developed in direct collaboration with the world's best racers – uncompromisingly designed for victory. The SES 4.5 PRO is ENVE's first road wheelset to receive this distinction.
In WorldTour racing, aerodynamics, low weight, and compliance with regulations are crucial. The SES 4.5 PRO was specifically developed for the demands of professionals and meets all the requirements of the associations. On smooth roads, 28mm tires are often used when low weight is a priority.
Since the classic SES 4.5 is usually ridden with 30mm tires, ENVE took the opportunity to develop a specially tuned aero climbing wheelset, not an all-rounder, but a precise tool for maximum performance at WorldTour speeds.
