ENVE G SES 4.5 PRO Innerdrive Carbon Gravel Wheels

Description

This is Gravel, Accelerated

The G SES series is where aerodynamics meet the realities of modern gravel. The ENVE G SES 4.5 PRO builds off the prolific success of the SES 4.5's design by delivering top honors in aerodynamics, handling dynamics, versatility, and weight savings when compared to gravel aero wheels of equal or greater depth (with the exception of their own G SES 6.7.)

Where the G SES 6.7 PRO delivers unprecedented aerodynamic speed, it does come with tradeoffs. The G SES 4.5 PRO balances all performance attributes to deliver a more versatile performance solution for gravel riders and racers who place value in weight savings, and nimble handling over all out aerodynamic efficiency.

G SES

The game has changed since ENVE's first gravel-specific wheel line in 2018. While compliance, durability, and pinch-flat resistance remain essential requirements, aerodynamics is now fundamental in the performance gravel segment.

G SES is where aerodynamics meet the realities of modern gravel. As gravel racing has evolved, the demands on equipment have changed with it. Higher speeds now require larger-volume tires – not only for comfort and handling, but to prevent flats from hidden rocks and ruts in the pace line.

PRO

ENVE's PRO line of products are born from direct professional athlete development and designed to be the highest performing products possible. No holds barred.

All G SES models are built on the same design philosophy as their Tour de France-winning SES road wheels. Dissimilar front and rear rims each shaped for the unique airflow, stability, and efficiency demands of its position create a system optimized as a whole.

As tire widths increase, so too does the rim width to maintain clean airflow at the tire's leading edge, smoothing the transition across the rim sidewall. The result is significant aerodynamic savings at the modern tire sizes between 44 and 52mm, sizes that today's gravel riders actually use.
