ENVE SES 4.5 PRO Podium-Validated
Performance

Engineered with direct pro input, the SES 4.5 PRO delivers
unmatched aero efficiency, low weight, and real-world stability.

Pro Level Performance

Pro Level Performance

Developed alongside Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates, the SES 4.5 PRO sets a new standard in carbon wheel engineering.

Featherweight Hubset

Featherweight Hubset

The ultralight PRO Hubset weighs just 281 g rear and 87 g front—delivering pro-grade stiffness at a fraction of the weight. By optimizing shell geometry and utilizing high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum, ENVE has achieved exceptional rigidity under power without adding unnecessary mass. Sealed, precision-mated bearings ensure smooth, low-drag rotation lap after lap, while the robust straight-pull spoke flange design perfectly balances load distribution for long-term durability in all conditions.

Real-World Aero Efficiency

Real-World Aero Efficiency

Real-World Fast™ design ensures tunnel-proven aero gains without sacrificing weight, durability, or crosswind stability. Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling optimized the SES 4.5 PRO’s rim profile for minimal drag across critical yaw angles, translating to tangible watt savings on varied terrain. Enhanced spoke count and aerodynamic flange shaping work together to maintain structural integrity and ride quality, so you get consistent performance whether you're hammering on flat stretches or navigating gusty descents.

Innovation through Iteration

Innovation through Iteration

Over a year of hub development, laminate refinement, and manufacturing breakthroughs culminated in the wheel Pogačar demanded. Every layer of the carbon layup was fine-tuned in custom 3D-printed molds to guarantee consistent wall thickness and optimal fiber orientation. Rigorous wind-tunnel and real-world testing informed incremental shape tweaks, ensuring the SES 4.5 PRO not only excels in measured aero numbers but also delivers confidence and control in variable crosswinds.

The Wheel That Pros Demand
"The Wheel That Pogačar Demanded"

U.S. Made by Choice

Designed, developed, and hand-built in Ogden, Utah—proven on the world's toughest roads. Every SES 4.5 PRO wheel undergoes in-house layup, finishing, and multi-point inspection by a dedicated team of wheelbuilders, ensuring factory-accurate tolerances and consistency. Local production also enables ENVE to rapidly incorporate rider feedback and technological advances into each batch, delivering unmatched service and next-day parts availability for passionate cyclists worldwide.
