SES provides design and aerodynamics, but don't forget about the details of the wheel build. Enve constructs wheels with the essential balance of lateral, torsional, and vertical stiffness. Laterally, your wheel must track perfectly, especially under power load or cornering force. Torsional stiffness is a representation of power transfer from the hub to the rim, often referred to as wind-up. All wheels must have some vertical compliance to be able to handle road impact or compaction. The level of this deflection is your vertical stiffness. In this wheelset, DT Swiss 240 hubs are laced to the Enve rims using lightweight, stiff, slightly bladed Sapim CX-Ray spokes. This combination, laced radially in the front with 20 spokes, and two-cross in the rear with 24 spokes, truly creates a tunable ride quality and impressive acceleration when matched to the DT star ratchet engagement system. The hubset is easy to service, and the j-bend replacements are widely available. All together, the SES 8.9 Carbon Clincher Wheelset featuring DT Swiss weighs less than 1600 grams.

With all the proven technology and aerodynamics, the Enve 6.7 has quickly surpassed many other mid-section aero wheels. Triathletes rave about the ability to ride these clinchers while training and racing, and road cyclists love the speed, feel, and excellent braking. If you want no compromise aero race wheels, the Enve SES 8.9 cannot be overlooked. Enve backs these US made rims with a five year warranty from manufacturing defect and offers a lifetime crash replacement program. The wheelset comes with lightweight Enve Skewers, specific rimstrips, and Enve's specially formulated brake pads. Making an investment in high-performance wheels is now much easier thanks to Enve's commitment to ride-every-day excellence.
