Product Story

Product details

Purpose-Built for Modern Gravel

The ENVE G SES 4.5 Front Wheel is engineered for the evolving demands of gravel riding, where speed, stability, and versatility are essential. Its 49 mm rim depth and 30 mm internal width are tuned for use with high-volume tires, supporting confident handling and improved aerodynamics across mixed surfaces.

Aerodynamics Meets Real-World Gravel

This wheel is shaped to deliver aerodynamic gains at the wider tire sizes (44–52 mm) now standard in gravel racing. The rim profile is designed to maintain smooth airflow, helping you carry speed on open roads and through crosswinds, while the wide hookless bead reduces the risk of pinch flats when the terrain turns rough.

It is optimized for 700c tires and supports a minimum tire width of 40 mm, with a maximum recommended pressure of 50 PSI. The wheel uses ENVE’s INNERDRIVE™ Premium hub with a 12x100 mm thru-axle and centrelock disc brake interface, ensuring compatibility with modern gravel and adventure bikes.

With a front wheel weight of 725 g (including tape and valve), the G SES 4.5 offers nimble handling and responsive acceleration without sacrificing stability. The wide rim supports modern gravel tire volumes, giving you better cornering support and comfort over long distances.
