“Le ENVE sono fra le migliori ruote polivalenti che abbiamo mai utilizzato: sono leggere, stabili ed estremamente veloci quando serve. Se dovessimo acquistare un unico set di ruote per il resto della nostra vita, questo sarebbe di sicuro un’ottima scelta.”– aerogeeks.com“Queste ruote mi hanno sorpreso soprattutto per la loro eccezionale stabilità e il loro ampio spettro di utilizzo. Si possono utilizzare praticamente per tutto. Sono leggere e quindi adatte alle scalate, ma anche estremamente aerodinamiche sui terreni pianeggianti.”– bdc-mag.com

Perhaps the ultimate all-round, high performance wheelset, the 4.5 debuted the second generation SES profile. It delivers outright class-leading speed while retaining a very low weight and incredible stability. No wonder it’s the go-to wheel for Team Dimension Data.
The all-new SES rim profile has a significantly revised curvature and increased widths that are optimized for 25mm tires in modern frames with greater clearances. This allows air to flow smoothly over the rim – it remains ‘attached’ – even at high crosswind angles and to reattach quicker after a strong side gust. These important advances make the 4.5 both extremely fast and stable for its depth. In challenging conditions, wind-steer is all but eliminated and side force builds and releases smoothly and predictably, so you can ride and race with complete confidence.
How fast is the 4.5? Compared to the first line of SES wheels, the 4.5 essentially matches the aerodynamics of the older 6.7, which was itself ballistic yet much deeper at 60mm front and 70mm rear, and of course heavier with it. Nothing of a similar depth or weight gets close to the speed of the 4.5.
Need to know:
• Class leading aerodynamics and weight
• Incredible stability in gusty conditions
• Second generation SES rim profile
• All-new rim profiles of 48 and 56mm
• Optimized width for 25mm tires

Bought these to replace my wonderful ROLF Aeres 4 wheelset. Those wheels were light, fast rolling, and easy to maintain. but they were a little noodly under big load (high torque climbing, sprinting). The ENVE 4.5 are everything those wheels were and more. they spin up to speed effortlessly, and once rolling they want to keep holding speed. they almost never flex under big load, and since they are slightly wider, my tires grew even more plush. and they look the business. super fly, fast, light, stiff. and with the Chris King hubs, and the amazing warranty, these wheels should be in my stable for a long time to come.

I built up a set of SES 4.5 rims in the past year and have been very impressed with their performance. I use them for a rides of varying lengths and intensity. They spin up very easily, and are much more stable in cross winds to other deeper section rims that I’ve ridden. The braking performance is very good as well, especially for a carbon surface. They built up very nicely, the rims were round and came to tension nicely. The internal nipples are not my favorite, but worthwhile for the articulating nipple/rim bed interface. And finally, having the Enve guarantee is a nice peace of mind for those potholes that seem to come out of nowhere.

I spent the bulk of last season training and racing on these wheels. Previously, I had been riding Roval CLX32s, which are shallower and wider. The 4.5s certainly carry speed better than the Rovals. It’s hard to tell the aerodynamic benefit while riding, the only noticeable difference is that the 4.5s get knocked around a little more in a crosswind. I will say the narrower rim makes them ride a little harsher than the Rovals, but I believe these downsides are made up for by the gains in aerodynamics. They’ve withstood two crashes, and make my bike look badass (IMHO).

Not only are these reliable, they preform phenomenally. Im not a heavy guy buy Ive never had issues in wind, and boy is it windy here in the Midwest. Also these are the perfect blend of aero and weight making it the ideal 1 wheel quiver. I used these wheels for the P/1 Green Mountain Stage race, Crit Nationals, even a local dirt road race and I never thought I needed another option.
In summary to quote Ferris “I love riding it, its so choice… I highly recommend picking one up”
