ENVE Composites SES 3.4 Carbon Road Wheelset 700c Center-Lock Performance Bicycle Wheels

The SES 3.4 is the most versatile wheelset in the lineup, designed to excel across a wide range of terrain and surface conditions. Its high‑volume rim profile and Wide Hookless Bead technology make it a top choice not only for modern road racing at the World Tour level, but also for mixed‑surface events where durability and pinch‑flat resistance are essential. Optimized for high‑volume tubeless tires, the SES 3.4 delivers a balance of low weight, aerodynamic efficiency, and exceptional reliability, making it one of the most capable all‑around wheels available.
