At a glance
The ENVE G SES 4.5 Rear Wheel is engineered for gravel riders who want a balance of speed, stability, and versatility. Its 55 mm deep rim is shaped for aerodynamic efficiency at higher gravel speeds, while the 30 mm internal width is tuned for wide, high-volume tires that excel on rough surfaces and loose terrain.
This wheel is designed around modern gravel tire sizes, with a 30 mm internal rim width supporting tires from 40 mm and up. The wide hookless bead reduces the risk of pinch flats, especially at lower pressures, and the rim profile is matched to maintain clean airflow with larger tires for real-world aerodynamic gains.
At the core is ENVE’s INNERDRIVE™ Premium hub, featuring oversized steel ratchets positioned for reduced axle stress and longer bearing life. The hub is available in multiple freehub standards to suit a range of drivetrains, and uses a 12x142 mm thru-axle for compatibility with most modern gravel bikes.
The G SES 4.5 Rear Wheel is disc brake-specific with a Centerlock interface, and is fully tubeless-ready for those seeking lower pressures and improved puncture resistance. The wheel is built with Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Alpina Nylock brass internal nipples for durability and serviceability.
