Why We Like The ENVE SES 4.5 Disc Wheel
With its lightweight carbon construction, increased aerodynamic efficiency, and optimal compliance, the ENVE SES 4.5 Disc Wheel is our go-to for race days, lunch rides, and high-speed training days alike. Based on the original high-volume SES 4.5AR wheel designed to deliver an aerodynamic advantage on the rough cobbles, the new SES 4.5 Disc is re-engineered to keep us riding fast over any surface, keeping us entirely in control no matter how rough the road gets. ENVE built this wheel with a hookless bead design to optimize tubeless performance, including anti-pinch-flat technology that aids in the reduction of flatting.

Best Road Wheels in my Opinion
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Weight:
- 151
These are not your average road wheel. The price reflects that! However you get top tier customer support, engineering and made in UT goodness. Tadej uses them, so if they are good enough for him...they are good enough for me. The wider internal rim width is a game changer. 50 psi~ for 30mm tires on my 151 lb frame. That is nuts! They are stable in the crosswinds and are fast even around 20-25mph for an average joe like me. For rough roads they are burly. They are not the lightest in class but the durability and aero performance makes up for it. Highly recommend these wheels!

Nearly Perfect Wheelset
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I've been riding ENVE wheelsets for a number of years and have always appreciated their ride and durability. This set went on my Melee and is a perfect match. They are noticeably faster than the 3.4s I replaced them with, and do very well in Colorado crosswinds. The new ENVE hubs are a big improvement over the older ones, and the rear hub has a very cool (and loud) buzz. Only complaint is the decals aren't very robust and can be easily damaged.
