Enve SES 3.4 Carbon TUBULAR Wheels : New Brake Track : Chris King Hubs

Season:2017

Brand:Enve

Code:EN34G2TUB

Forever innovating, Enve have continued with their development of the SES Aero profile concept to specifically adapt their rim profiles in order to maximise performance gains in a target terrain or discipline while simulateously maximising the aerodynamic advantage.

The Enve SES 3.4 is touted as Enve's most versatile wheel, as at home in the mountains as it is in the valleys. Produced using the new SES design, the 3.4 is - like all it's second generation stablemates - tubeless compatible and features a profile that delivers maximum aerodynamic efficiency for its profile and which is optimised for a 25mm tyre.

Since Enve's approach to rim shape is to offer the best aerodynamics for a given depth of rim - which in turn is governed by the wheel's intended use - it is unsurprising that rim shapes vary through the range. The new 3.4 has been designed as the ultimate climbing wheel and thanks to the refined design approach, varies significantly from it's first generation predecessor. While the variation in depth between the front (38mm) and rear (42mm) wheels remains in order to manage the differing airflow across different areas of the bike, the new 3.4 shares the same rim width both front and rear. The old 3.4 featured a 24mm wide rear and 26mm wide front. The new 3.4 rims are 27.5mm wide and this additional width serves to optimise fit for the now ubiquitous 25mm tyre. At the same time, the subsequent increased width has lent further benefit to the aerodynamic efficienies of the rim and despite having an increased front rim depth (38mm as opposed to 35mm) the Enve 3.4 better maintains airflow attachment for class leading versatility and efficiency for a wheel of this depth. 

The Enve 3.4 is then supremely stable in adverse conditions despite its low weight and increased front rim depth and offers the rider incredible predictability that is paramount for bike handling.

In addition to the various advantages of improved stability, reduced weight and greater speed; the new 3.4 Tubular also benefits from enhanced stopping power. The culmination of over a decade of development, Enve's new Molded In brake track offers the rider even greater confidence when breaking. Often the Achiles Heel of carbon wheels, confident braking, both in the wet and for prolonged periods, has been slowly improving in recent years with surfaces becoming more resiliant and better able to dissipate heat. The new brake track (NBT) from Enve is a giant step forward in carbon braking efficiancy - in all conditions.

Enve employ a 100% unidirectional brake track in conjunction with a high-temperature resin system that allows the rim to better manage heat for more consistent braking - meaning less likely rim deformation on those long alpine descents. The new brake track is also roughly textured and this goes a very long way to assisting with stopping. Enve claim you now require 30% less lever force for the same effective stopping power as their previous and relatively good, brake surface. As if that weren't enough, they also claim near identical stopping in the wet as in the dry - and that is a big deal. Having ridden the new brake track I can attest to its efficacy, it is easily on par with some of the best aluminium surfaces I have ridden - certainly in the dry - and there is also the satisfying high frequency buzz of the pad against the rim as you slow - not dissimilar to that of Mavic's Exalith surface, but without the squeal!

The 3.4 SES wheels are built around Chris King's legendary R45 Road hubs - one of the finest road hubs currently available - with incredible precision and response and with mind bending attention to engineering detail. Maintained regularly they will last a lifetime and deliver that satisfying and unique Chris King Buzz whenever you freewheel.

The ultimate climbing wheel whose depth belies their agility. Quick to spin up with more than enough stiffness to deliver your input straight to the road without flexing or getting involved with the brakes. They are quick on the descents too and combined with their low weight make for superb, direct cornering for a nimble, predictable ride.

Lead times can vary - please contact us for more information.

Please note : Hub colour will be Black as standard. If you wish to alter this please get in touch using the link above!

Professional Opinion

Agile, stiff and comfortable, the new ENVE 3.4's a noticably improved over their predecessors. The braking is about as perfect as it gets when it comes to carbon and if you were to ride them without knowing they were carbon, you would be forgiven for thinking you were braking on a treated aluminium surface. I'm not a climber by any stretch of the imagination but these don't protest when I get out of the saddle in a sprint or load them on the climbs. Deflection is minimal and whilst not quite as stiff as the 4.5s - they are without question, noticably better suited to the hills - something that was harder to feel between the older 1st generation wheelsets.

If you love the hills and want the ultimate climbing wheel - look no further, these will not disappoint.
