Enve SES 4.5 TDF Special Edition Disc Brake Rear Wheel

Wide, light and fast, ENVE’s SES 4.5 TDF Special Edition Disc Brake Rear Wheel is a thoroughly modern choice for high-performance riding and an excellent balance between weight and aerodynamics. This limited release celebrates the world's most famous race, featuring exclusive Tour de France graphics on the rim, and also comes with a spare set of white graphics so you can customize the look to perfectly match your bike.

Aero-focused design with maximum tyre volume

The huge internal width of 25mm really allows any tyre’s volume to be fully exploited and the rim’s blunt, hookless edge reduces the potential for any pinch punctures. The width also means that the tyre’s sidewall is very well supported when cornering and that the junction with the rim becomes nice and smooth for better airflow. The 56mm deeper rear rim profile is engineered for maximum aerodynamic gains and straight-line efficiency. Tested at 32kph (20mph) as well as 48kph (30mph), the results show that amateur riders can still gain a significant advantage without having to maintain professional-level speed.

Precision engineering with broad drivetrain compatibility

Sapim CX-Ray spokes lace the rim to ENVE’s own Premium Road Disc hub, featuring full stainless steel races and great weather sealing so that contamination and corrosion are prevented. The Perfect Preload system means that the hub will run smoother and faster for longer with less maintenance required. Weighing 790 grams, this 700c tubeless-ready rear wheel features a 12x142mm thru-axle, Center Lock disc mounting, and compatibility with SRAM and Shimano drivetrains for minimum 27mm tyres.
