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)-Skewers 100/130mm-Brake pads 10mm (SRAM/Shimano or Campy), Brake pads 8mm (SRAM/Shimano)-Valve Extenders (75mm set)-Accessory Bag-Wheel Manual-Wheelbuild Card
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.

It used to be simple – train on clinchers, race on tubulars – but advances in clincher rim and tire design, plus the arrival of tubeless technology to the road, means that’s no longer the case. The best clincher and tubeless tires now out-perform top tubulars for rolling resistance. What’s more clincher rims and tires also integrate slightly more aerodynamically. For triathlon, grand fondos and nearly all road riding, tubeless/clinchers are recommended. In shorter events, or if you’re lucky enough to have a support car, committed racers will tell you that little else feels as good as a set of superlight tubs leaping out of a corner.
Need to know:
• Lighter and more responsive rims and total wheel and tire package
• Tires must be glued in place
• Recommended for criterium and road racers
• Everyone else is recommended to go tubeless
• Clincher and tubeless tires are more practical
There are three elements, all the product of relentless research and development. First is the molded-in brake surface texture which provides more friction and allows water to be cleared almost instantly. Second is the advanced high-temp resin system which eliminates the heat build-up issues that other carbon clinchers can suffer, so you can ride long descents with total confidence. Third is our unique ENVE Black pad compound which is designed to work with the molded texture to provide incredible all-weather stopping power along with good durability.
Need to know:
• The best carbon braking, period. Near equal wet and dry performance
• 30% less lever force required for the same stopping power
• Advanced high-temp resin system eliminates heat build-up issues during heavy braking on long descents
• Specific ENVE Black Carbon Brake Pads included
ENVE recognized early that road tubeless technology is here to stay and we drew on our years of experience making the world’s best mountain bike wheels to optimize the SES range for tubeless (excluding the current SES 4.5). With rims going wider and frames giving more tire clearance, the key aspects of bike design were aligned to make tubeless the best choice: wider rims make it easier to mount tubeless tires. Disc brakes add even more benefits for tubeless, typically allowing larger tires as well as removing issues of heat at the rim.
Need to know:
• Tubeless optimized design
• Faster rolling
• Higher grip
• Greater comfort
• Outstanding puncture resistance
