ENVE Composites G SES 4.5 Gravel Wheels

Description

The ENVE G SES 4.5 is a premium gravel wheel offered in front and rear wheel options for riders building or replacing individual wheels within ENVE’s performance gravel platform. Designed for the full spectrum of gravel riding, the G SES 4.5 blends aerodynamic shaping, low weight, responsive handling, and wide-tire stability for modern gravel racing and mixed-surface riding.
The G SES 4.5 uses a 30mm internal rim width tuned for high-volume gravel tires, with a 49mm front rim depth and 55mm rear rim depth. This staggered front/rear rim design helps balance speed, stability, and handling across varied terrain. Paired with ENVE’s Innerdrive Premium hub system, the complete front and rear configuration has a claimed wheelset weight of 1565g, making it a strong option for gravel riders and racers who prioritize weight savings and nimble handling while still gaining aerodynamic benefit.
