Description
The ENVE SES 5.6 Wheelset is rim brake specific meets the demands of the world’s best road racers and triathletes through a peerless combination of aerodynamic performance, lightweight design, crosswind stability, increased comfort, and incredible stopping power.
The SES 5.6 utilises the ENVE’s latest technologies to increase depth and improve aerodynamics. It is not only faster than its predecessor, but also more stable and confidence inspiring in challenging wind conditions.
In keeping with the rest of the SES range, the 5.6 derives its name from its rim depths: 54mm at the front and 63mm at the rear. Each wheel features patented SES rim geometries tailored to the different ways air flows over front and rear wheels. The wider front rim aids crosswind stability while the narrower rear rim improves overall airflow attachment for improved aerodynamics.
ENVE’s full carbon moulded brake track is perfect for rim brake riders looking for the ultimate stopping power. The textured surface with high temperature resistance achieves exceptional braking performance in wet and dry conditions. Braking force at the levers is decreased by 30% compared to the previous generation brake track, allowing you to control speed with confidence.
The SES 5.6 is tubeless compatible and optimised for 25mm tyres. This means reduced chances of flat tyres and real-world gains in rolling resistance, comfort, and traction.
Industry leaders in carbon fibre, every ENVE rim is handmade from raw uni-directional carbon. The bespoke construction process utilises rim-specific carbon laminates, moulded spoke holes, and removable bladders. The paint-free finish keeps weight low, maintains strength and stiffness, and shows off the carbon too.
