Das schnellste Smart ENVE System Aero-Laufrad aus Carbon – bis heute
Erfahrene Triathleten und Rennfahrer, die nach maximaler Aero-Performance und Fahrstabilität fragen
Wir haben das SES 7.8 entwickelt, um zwei Ziele zu erreichen: mehr Speed und höhere Fahrstabilität. Das SES 7.8 verfügt über die aktuellsten SES-Technologien sowie über unsere neuesten direkt eingeformten Bremsflanken und Kompatibilität mit Tubeless-Drahtreifen. Das SES 7.8 ist breiter und speziell optimiert, um bestmöglich mit modernen Aero-Rahmen und großvolumigen 25-mm-Reifen zu funktionieren.
Tubeless Kit (Clincher only):
-2x valve stems
-1x roll of tape (good for taping 3 wheels)
-2x Pressure Relief Valve Stem Nuts
Skewers 100/130mm
Brake pads 10mm (SRAM/Shimano or Campy)
Brake pads 8mm (SRAM/Shimano)
Valve Extenders (75mm set)

Wenn es im Rennen gegen den Wind und gegen die Uhr geht, ist das SES 7.8 auf beide Gegner optimal vorbereitet. Indem die Kompromisse zwischen Aerodynamik, Fahrstabilität, Gewicht und Steifigkeit aufgelöst werden konnten, ist das SES 7.8 unser perfektes Carbon-„Werkzeug“ für Straßenrennen und Triathlon. Es basiert vorne wie hinten auf asymmetrischen Felgen-Geometrien. Vorne ist die Felge 71 mm hoch und 29 mm breit, hinten sind es 80 beziehungsweise 27,5 mm. Diese Unterschiede steigern die Aero-Effizienz im Gesamtsystem aus Bike und Laufrädern. Weil heute 25-mm-Reifen Standard sind, wurde das SES 7.8 auf diese breiteren Reifen ausgelegt. Außerdem statten die Hersteller ihre Rahmen heutzutage mit mehr Platz zwischen Rahmen und Laufrad aus – das gibt dem Laufradbauer mehr Freiheiten. Und das SES 7.8 ist genau für solche Rahmen optimiert. Außer seiner modifizierten Bauform und Struktur bringt es auch unsere aktuellsten, texturierten Carbon-Bremsflanken mit und ist kompatibel mit Road Tubeless-Reifen. Zusammen mit der ENVE Carbon Road Hub kommt das SES 7.8 auf ein Paar-Gewicht von 1562 g – und ist so erste Wahl für flache bis hügelige Etappen.
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.

When the race is against the wind and the clock the SES 7.8 is optimized for the task. By reducing the tradeoffs between aerodynamics, stability, weight, and stiffness, the SES 7.8 carbon fiber aero wheel is the perfect tool for road racing and triathlon alike. The SES 7.8 features asymmetric rim geometries front to back. The front rim is 71mm deep and 29mm wide while the rear rims is 80mm deep and 27.5 mm wide. The dissimilar rim geometries improve the efficiency of the airflow in the system of bike frame and wheels. Because running 25mm tires is now standard, the SES 7.8 was designed with larger tires in mind. Additionally, frame manufacturers are now producing frames that have more clearance between wheel and frame which has opened up the design scope for a wheelset. The SES 7.8 is optimized for these frames. In addition to changes in shape and structure, the SES 7.8 features the latest molded in carbon fiber brake track texture and is compatible with road tubeless tires. The SES 7.8 when built with the ENVE Carbon Road Hub comes in at a weight of 1562 grams making it a viable choice for courses that feature flat to hilly terrain.
