ENVE SES 4.5 PRO – World Tour-Level Road Wheelset

The ENVE SES 4.5 PRO is the result of development with Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates , after two seasons of testing and success on the World Tour. Already a winner of over 25 races in its debut season, this wheel represents the pinnacle of ENVE engineering: a perfect combination of aerodynamics, lightness and smoothness .

Designed for those seeking maximum performance in racing and climbing , the SES 4.5 PRO brings professional technology to the road, with a new ultra-light hub and redesigned rims to optimize every watt of power.

Racing DNA

The PRO brand identifies products developed in direct collaboration with the world's best athletes.
The SES 4.5 PRO , like the renowned SES Aero PRO One-Piece , represents the pinnacle of ENVE research: innovative materials, wind-tunnel-optimized design, and components designed to win.

New INNERDRIVE PRO hub

The heart of the wheel is the PRO Hubset , which takes the patented INNERDRIVE™ technology to the next level.

• Total hub weight: 281g (front 87g, rear 194g)

• 40-tooth ratchet with low-friction spring

• ENVE PRO ceramic bearings with Grade 5 balls and hardened stainless steel races

• Low-resistance seals to reduce friction and increase durability

• Saving 60g compared to INNERDRIVE Premium hubs

This system guarantees an immediate response to pedaling, silence and smoothness at the maximum levels, ideal for the high speeds of the World Tour.

New generation ultra-lightweight rims

The new SES rim construction reduces weight by 50g per rim , without sacrificing stiffness or strength.

• Rim depth: 49 mm (front) / 55 mm (rear)

• Internal width: 23.5 mm

• Front wheel weight: 587 g

• Rear wheel weight: 708 g

• Total set weight: 1295 g (valves and tape included)

• High modulus carbon fiber construction , with optimized lamination to reduce mass and improve vibration absorption

“Real-World Fast™” aerodynamics

The Smart ENVE System (SES) philosophy, developed in collaboration with aerodynamicist Simon Smart , prioritizes real-world road speed , not just lab speed.
The profile of the 4.5 PRO maintains the patented shape of the classic SES 4.5, ensuring:

• Superior aerodynamics even in crosswinds

• Stability and control when descending and cornering

• Excellent balance between smoothness and comfort

Perfect for 27–28mm tires , with a maximum pressure of 100 psi (6.8 bar) .

Components and construction

• Spokes: Alpina Ultralite Aero R5 stainless steel (24 spokes per wheel)

• Nipples: Alpina Nylock light alloy

• Brakes: Centerlock (disc)

• Compatibility: 12x100 front / 12x142 rear

• Tubeless Ready , with 29mm rim tape included

• Spoke tension: 120 kgf
