Aerodynamic tire design tends to focus on rim profiles while ignoring the thing that actually touches the air first. ENVE took a different approach with the SES Tubeless Road Tire, using computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel testing to shape the tread pattern and casing profile together with their wheelsets. The result is a tire that transitions smoothly from rim to rubber, reducing the turbulence that costs you watts at speed.

The compound blends natural and synthetic rubber with activated silica, which means the tire grips consistently whether the roads are dry or slicked with morning rain. Vectran puncture protection sits beneath the tread, providing a barrier against flats without adding the dead feeling that heavier belted tires create. The casing stays supple enough to absorb road texture and conform to imperfections rather than bouncing over them.

Compatibility covers the full range of modern road setups. The SES Road Tire works with both hookless and traditional hooked-bead rims, running tubeless with sealant or accepting inner tubes if that's your preference. ENVE designed the tire profiles to pair specifically with their SES wheelsets, but they'll mount and perform on other brands as well. The six width options span from race-focused 25c through all-road 35c sizing.... Read More
