You’ll see them under Tadej Pogačar. You’ll see them in the Tour. Starting this week, you’ll see them on the shelf at AC.
SES 4.5 Pro was built at the request of UAE Team Emirates for the Grand Tours. It’s a ground-up re-engineering of ENVE’s proven aero platform, shaped for riders who need climbing weight without losing high-speed control.
At 1,295 grams, it’s light enough to notice when the road tilts upward. That’s 155 grams off the standard SES 4.5, but the speed remains intact. Rim depths (49mm front, 55mm rear) and a 23.5mm internal width pair cleanly with 28mm race tires, with full compliance to modern ETRTO standards. This is also the first SES wheel to run ENVE’s new mini-hook design—lighter than a full hook, more secure than hookless and fully tubeless compatible.
We’ve already started building with them. The new carbon layup has a raw, ultra-premium finish. The wheels install clean, and ENVE’s PRO hubs (now with ceramic bearings) spin dead silent. No drama. Just fast.
Who is it for? Riders looking to lose grams without giving up depth. Racers. Fast club riders. Customers running Lightweight or Partington who want something tubeless and serviceable. Riders already on ENVE who want something sharper, without compromise.
We have priority access and limited inventory on hand.
Reach out if you want to lock down a set—we can spec it right.
