With direct input from Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates - XRG over two seasons, we’re pleased to introduce the SES 4.5 PRO - a wheel that has already amassed 20+ victories this season. Designed for the cyclists seeking the ultimate wheelset, where low weight, aerodynamics, and rolling efficiency meet.

Purpose Built

Progress at the highest level is incremental and iterative, and ENVE has redefined the benchmark SES 4.5 to deliver more speed and less weight. Winning everything from the Tour de France to World Championships and Ronde van Vlaanderen, Tadej elevated the SES 4.5 to be the most dominant wheel in the pro peloton, conquering cobbled classics, steep mountain summits, and the most grueling terrain with unparalleled speed. He prioritized aerodynamic supremacy over sheer weight savings, trusting the SES 4.5’s class-leading efficiency to deliver results. However, he and UAE Team Emirates envisioned something even more ambitious—a wheel that preserves the SES 4.5’s aero advantages while achieving the featherweight precision of elite climbing wheels.

Over a year of meticulous hub development, carbon laminate refinement, and manufacturing breakthroughs led to the creation of the SES 4.5 PRO. 

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR THE HIGHEST LEVEL

PRO in the name means it is a product developed in direct collaboration with the world’s top racers and represents the pinnacle of innovation—engineered and built for race-winning performance. The SES 4.5 PRO is the first product in our road line to receive the designation. 

World Tour road racing requires an exceptional balance of aerodynamics, weight optimization, and compliance with governing bodies. The SES 4.5 PRO’s focus on the needs of professional racers requires compliance with the governing body’s equipment regulations. Depending on the course requirements, riders often choose 28 mm tires when road surface conditions are smooth and saving weight takes priority. With the 4.5 currently in the line where riders are most often pairing it with 30 mm tires, ENVE took advantage of the opportunity to create a purpose-built aero, climbing wheelset that isn’t intended to be the jack-of-all wheel, but rather a refined tool for climbing at World Tour speeds.

SES 4.5 PRO CONSTRUCTION

New rim design saves 50 grams per rim over the SES 4.5. This is where the weight was saved. 

  1. Reduced rim depth
  2. Rim width is narrower
  3. By removing material from under the Wide Hookless Bead ™ pinch-flat and impact function is preserved
  4. A small hook is created as a result of eliminating material from Wide Hookless Bead ™ (critical tubeless dimensions preserved with new channel manufacturing technique)
  5. Actual inner-rim width is maintained, preserving tire volume and rolling-resistance performance
  6. New materials allow for thinner sidewalls and channel

AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

The foundation of the Smart ENVE System (SES) philosophy is the concept of Real-World Fast™ performance that goes back to 2009 when we partnered with leading aerodynamicist, Simon Smart. That means chasing maximum speed, but not at the cost of important performance attributes, such as weight, durability, and stability.

The SES 4.5 PRO meets these requirements by preserving the majority of the SES 4.5’s patented shape and therefore its best-in-class aerodynamics and ride characteristics. Simply put, after nearly 10 years, the SES 4.5 shape continues to punch above its depth. That’s how ENVE came to be the wheel partner of UAE Team Emirates. Unbeknownst to ENVE, UAE had purchased the leading wheels on the market and independently tested them in the wind tunnel and on the road. The rest is history.

Compliant, Responsive, Dependable, lightweight!

Compliant, Responsive, Dependable, lightweight! Yea, I know they aren’t inexpensive but we get what we pay for. I started riding ENVES after I had a warranty problem with another big name wheel manufacturer giving me the runaround and making the warranty issue a BIG ISSUE! After this I researched after purchase service / warranty and went with Enve. Im glad I did. After approximately 12000 miles on multiple sets of wheel ( I have Enve on all my bike now) not a single problem. Thanks to Roy’s of Sheepshead for hooking me up with great prices and service and Enve for making a superior product.

Fast wheels ever!!!!!

Best wheels ever had.
Coming from Campagnolo Bora Ultra and Shimano DuraAce . ENVE 4.5 Pro are one level up. Fast, light and good balanced. Bit pricey but worthy.

Love these wheels!

Why settle for either aero or lightweight when you can have both! Best wheels on the planet. Bombproof and fast! The hub is music as well. Going from my old wheelset that was still decent set (41mm deep and not terribly heavy), I've dropped all my times up, down and on the flats.

Latest and the Greatest

Swapped out my Princeton Carbonworks Evo Peak 4550 which were a 9/10 but the New Enve Pro's are 10/10 for now. until they come out with something better. But I think it will be a while.

Best carbon wheels made in the world!

This is my 3rd set of Enve wheels and they NEVER disappoint. The best build and ride quality available. They get up to speed like lightning and hold speed like nothing else...if anything there begging me to push harder and go faster. I have done thousands of miles and they are as true as the day I purchased them. I've even taken a couple of surprise hits from horrible road pothole's that I couldn't avoid and I thought for sure I had damaged my wheels... Nope, still perfect in every respect! I also love the way they handle in strong gusts and severe crosswinds. I never shy away from windy day rides. My Enve wheels seem to tame those nasty winds and I still ride with confidence, always in complete control and never feel up tight or tense at rides end. Not to mention the best customer service i have ever experienced and when I call I always get a (real) person based at the Enve facility here in the USA. Just the best wheels in the world!!!

Great Wheels

Love these wheels, they feel quite a bit faster than the "regular" 4.5 AR Disc wheel set that I was running before. Hubs are silky smooth and look killer as well.

Best wheels set I ever ridden

OMG this wheels set is amazing. It’s looks so nice on my Specialized Tarmac SL8.
It’s light, very stiff but comfortable at the same time. The wheels are so reactive when I accelerate.
I feel now like Pogacar on my bike, it’s nice to be able to ride the same wheels as the greatest cyclist!
