ENVE SES 4.5 PRO Carbon Wheelset

Product Overview

Developed with Tadej Pogačar. 25+ victories this season. The ultimate climbing aero wheelset.

The ENVE SES 4.5 PRO is the result of a two‑year collaboration between ENVE and Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates‑XRG. Pogačar had a vision: a wheel that preserves the legendary SES 4.5's class‑leading aerodynamics while achieving the featherweight precision of elite climbing wheels. The result is a wheelset that has already amassed 25+ victories in a single season—from the Tour de France to World Championships and cobbled classics.

At just 1,295 grams (including valves and tape), the SES 4.5 PRO is 155 grams lighter than the standard SES 4.5. It represents the pinnacle of ENVE's "Real‑World Fast" philosophy—maximum speed without sacrificing stability, durability, or weight.
