Lightweight SES 4.5 PRO wheelset with deep aero rims and ceramic hub upgrade
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“The 4.5 PRO feels like a pure evolution—lighter, faster, and quieter than anything I’ve ridden at this depth. The ceramic bearings spin forever, and ENVE kept the handling neutral and stable. It’s made for speed, but it doesn’t punish you on the climbs either.”
Precision-built for riders chasing speed and efficiency, the SES 4.5 PRO is ENVE’s most advanced road wheelset to date. With a complete redesign focused on weight reduction, improved aerodynamics, and hub performance, the 4.5 PRO delivers elite-level ride quality for competitive cyclists and dedicated riders alike.
The asymmetric 49mm front and 55mm rear rim depths strike the ideal balance between drag reduction and stable handling, even in turbulent wind conditions. Internal rim widths of 23.5mm are optimized for 28mm tubeless tires, allowing lower pressures for reduced rolling resistance and enhanced comfort. The hookless, tubeless-ready carbon rims maintain ENVE’s reputation for strength and race-day reliability.
At just 2lb 13.7oz (1295g) with tape and valves, the SES 4.5 PRO offers impressive weight savings for a wheelset in this aero category. The new Innerdrive PRO hubset introduces ceramic bearings and improved internals for quicker engagement and longer-lasting performance. Paired with 24 Alpina Aero R5 spokes front and rear and alloy Nylock nipples, the build balances stiffness, responsiveness, and serviceability.
Whether you're pushing through a solo break, hammering intervals, or gearing up for your fastest season yet, the SES 4.5 PRO is built to elevate every ride.

SES 4.5 PRO Construction
New rim design saves 50 grams per rim over the SES 4.5. This is where the weight was saved.
1. Reduced rim depth
2. Rim width is narrower
3. By removing material from under the Wide Hookless Bead ™ pinch-flat and impact function is preserved
4. A small hook is created as a result of eliminating material from Wide Hookless Bead ™ (critical tubeless dimensions preserved with new channel manufacturing technique)
5. Actual inner-rim width is maintained, preserving tire volume and rolling-resistance performance
6. New materials allow for thinner sidewalls and channel
Purpose-Built for Real-World Speed
The SES 4.5 PRO is not a do-everything wheel — it’s a refined race tool built for riders who care about efficiency where it actually matters. ENVE re-engineered its most successful rim profile to deliver lower rolling resistance, improved stability, and meaningful weight savings without compromising aerodynamic performance. Positioned between ENVE’s deepest aero wheels and its lighter climbing options, the SES 4.5 PRO is the most balanced race wheel in the lineup for speed, stability, and efficiency.
Aerodynamic Efficiency
Built around ENVE’s Smart ENVE System philosophy, the SES 4.5 PRO is engineered for Real-World Fast™ performance. That means aerodynamic efficiency balanced with stability, durability, and predictable handling, not just wind tunnel numbers.
By refining the proven SES 4.5 rim shapes, ENVE delivers class-leading aero efficiency that remains calm and confident at speed, even in variable winds. The result is a wheel that stays fast when conditions are not perfect, which is exactly where real racing happens.
Innerdrive PRO Hub Performance
The Innerdrive PRO hubset reduces friction with ceramic bearings and refined internals for quicker engagement, quieter operation, and a smoother feel under load. Less drag, faster response, and efficiency you can feel every time you accelerate.
Optimized for Modern Road Tires
Designed around a 23.5mm internal rim width, the SES 4.5 PRO is optimized for 28mm tubeless tires. This allows lower pressures that reduce rolling resistance while improving control and stability at speed—without sacrificing aerodynamic efficiency.
