Design & Innovation Award 2017 - ENVE SES 4.5 AR Disc wheelset

Posted by Elite Custom on

ENVE SES 4.5 AR Disc wheelset The SES wheelset from ENVE have nailed the elusive sweet spot between aerodynamics, a wider rim width (31 mm up front, 30.5 mm in the back), and low weight (1,583 grams w/ Chris King R45 CL hubs). More specifically, they’re the result of pioneering legwork in the aero-plus segment of the industry. The DI.A crew rode the SES wheelset on a myriad of bikes, each time reaching the same conclusion: across the board, the bikes accelerate quicker, rode with more agility, and were less susceptible to crosswinds (when compared to other similar wheels tested)....
