Das SES 5.6 ist die Evolution unseres bewährten SES 4.5. Indem wir ihm die aktuellsten SES-Technologien mitgeben, ist das SES 5.6 nicht nur schneller als sein Vorgänger, sondern auch noch fahrstabiler und mehr Vertrauen vermittelnd bei heiklen Windbedingungen. Außerdem ist es Tubeless-kompatibel – für bessere Traktion und Abroll-Effizienz bei geringerem Pannenrisiko.

Das SES 5.6 ist die Evolution unseres bewährten SES 4.5. Indem wir ihm die aktuellsten SES-Technologien mitgeben, ist das SES 5.6 nicht nur schneller als sein Vorgänger, sondern auch noch fahrstabiler und mehr Vertrauen vermittelnd bei heiklen Windbedingungen. Außerdem ist es Tubeless-kompatibel – für bessere Traktion und Abroll-Effizienz bei geringerem Pannenrisiko.

Rennfahrer und Triathleten, die Speed und Effizienz maximieren wollen – mit klassenbester Aerodynamik und noch schnelleren Tubeless-Reifen.

Das SES 4.5 war seit seiner Präsentation 2014 ein Fixpunkt in der Smart ENVE System Laufrad-Familie. Doch seither hat sich so ziemlich alles im Straßenrennsport gewandelt. Zum Beispiel die Erkenntnis, dass mehr Reifenvolumen auf der Straße zu mehr Speed und Effizienz führen kann. Das SES 5.6 ist ‚Road Tubeless‘-kompatibel und führt das Erbe des SES 4.5 in der SES-Modellreihe nahtlos fort – als das beste Rennrad-Laufrad am Markt. Scheibenbremsen mögen inzwischen keine Exoten mehr sein. Aber wir wissen, dass sie nicht zwingend nötig sind und noch lange nicht jeder sie fahren möchte. Wer für seine Rennmaschine mit Felgenbremsen nach kompromissloser Brems-Performance sucht, der erhält mit unseren texturierten Bremsflanken aus 100% Carbon die höchste Hitzebeständigkeit am Markt, dazu unschlagbare Brems-Power und -Modulation bei Nässe und Trockenheit. Dank der aktuellsten Smart ENVE System Aero-Technologien ist das SES 5.6 zugleich schneller, noch fahrstabiler – und wie geschaffen dafür, einem modernen Rennrad zu noch besserer Performance und dir zu einem besseren Fahrerlebnis zu verhelfen.

ENVE SES 2.2, 3.4, 5.6, 7.8, 3.4 Disc, 5.6 Disc, 7.8 Disc, SES Rear Disc Wheel – There are no limitations on tire compatibility with these wheel models. Your ENVE SES wheels may be set up and run with inner-tubes and non-tubeless tires or tubeless (TL) and tubeless ready (TLR) tires alike. We recommend the use of a Tubeless (TL) or Tubeless Ready (TLR) 700x25c tire set up tubeless to maximize aerodynamics, rolling resistance, crosswind stability, and your ride experience.

Non-Tubeless Setup (i.e. I want to run inner-tubes) – Each ENVE SES wheelset is delivered with one roll of RED, model specific, ENVE tested and approved tubeless rim tape. This tape should be installed regardless of whether you intend to run your wheels tubeless or not. Do not run cloth or plastic (including ENVE) non-tubeless compatible rim tape or strips. Plastic rim strips and cloth tapes are too thick, bridge the drop-center rim channel, and will make installation and removal of tires extremely difficult. Click here for our tubeless tape installation video.

Cotton and/or Natural Fiber Sidewall Tires – ENVE does NOT RECOMMEND the use of cotton or natural fiber sidewall non-tubeless tires with ENVE SES wheelsets for EVERYDAY USE. These tires are intended for high-performance racing applications only. If you choose to run these tires, please inspect your tires after each ride for cuts, tears, and any signs of abrasion and/or wear in the sidewall and at the location of the rim/tire interface. If any wear and/or damage is identified, replace before riding. Riders who choose to run tires with cotton or natural fiber sidewalls do so at their own risk.

5.6 Rim Shape Explained

Building upon the legacy of the SES 4.5 by delivering more speed via next gen SES rim shaping, the SES 5.6 sees increased depth without a decrease in stability.

The all-new SES rim profile has revised curvature and increased widths that are optimized for 25mm tires in modern frames with greater clearances. Adding tubeless compatibility for decreased rolling resistance, along with our bar-setting carbon braking surface makes this the ultimate road-racing wheelset for everyday use.

At 54mm depth in the front, and 63mm depth in the rear, the SES 5.6 was painstakingly refined to achieve the optimal combination of strength, stiffness, and lightweight for the application for which it was designed. In the case of the SES 5.6 – Road Racing.
