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 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.

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.
