ENVE SES 3.4 AR Disc Wheelset Chris King R45D / 12x142mm Clincher

ENVE’s SES 3.4 AR Disc Wheelset meets the demands of modern road cycling, where you’re just as likely to be tearing it up on gravel tracks as you are flying along asphalt. Aero optimised for 28mm – 32mm tyres and with pinch flat protection whilst being light enough for the mountains, these are probably the versatile wheels ENVE has ever created.

Thanks to the wheelset’s capacity for wide tyres and 32mm external width, you can run the ENVE SES 3.4 AR wheels at a lower tyre pressure increasing traction and reducing rolling resistance, for a silky ride that doesn’t compromise on aerodynamics or speed.

ENVE’s Wide Hookless Bead Technology increases the leading edge width of the rim to reduce the likelihood of pinch flats on rougher terrain and broken road surfaces, making this set of wheels incredibly reliable when out riding.

Due to the wheels being disc brake specific, ENVE has done away with the extra carbon needed for a brake track. This reduces the weight of the wheelset, making it a low weight leader in its category and competitive in the hills.

ENVE has designed the SES 3.4 AR rims to be aero optimised for speeds between 20kmph – 32kmph making them ideal for a wide spectrum of riders and surfaces. The rim design is also great in gusty conditions thanks to its profile.

The ENVE SES 3.4 AR Disc Wheelset is available with Chris King or ENVE hubs.

The Chris King R45D hubs are precision engineered to deliver the superb performance and durability that Chris King is renowned for. Available with the Portland, USA based brand’s legendary made in-house ceramic or stainless bearings and Chris King’s patented 45-tooth RingDrive system, these hubs offer unmatched engagement and power transfer. Fully serviceable, the R45D hubs promise years of use.

The ENVE Alloy Road Disc hubs are ideal for riders looking for a lightweight hub, with the set weighing under 400g. The hubs are centre lock compatible and have ENVE’s Perfect Pre-load system, eliminating bearing play and the need to adjust pre-load yourself.

Please note only tubeless-ready tyres may be used on these rims. An inner tube can be used as long as the tyre is tubeless ready.
