ENVE SES 5.6 Carbon Wheelset: ENVE or DT Shimano RIM BRAKE Hubs: Black

Season:2021

Brand:Enve

Code:EN56WHEELSETBLK

The Enve SES 5.6 is the evolution of the proven SES 4.5. By implementing the latest SES technologies the 5.6 is not only faster than its predecessor but also more stable and confidence inspiring in challenging wind conditions. Other changes include tubeless tyre compatibility for improved traction, rolling efficiency and fewer flats.

The SES 4.5 was a staple in the Smart ENVE System family of wheels since its launch in 2014. Since then, nearly everything in road racing has changed; among them, the realization that more volume can equate to more speed and efficiency on the road. The SES 5.6 is road tubeless compatible and embodies the spirit of the SES 4.5 by taking its position in the SES lineup as the best road racing wheelset on the market.

Building upon the legacy of the SES 4.5 by delivering more speed via next gen SES rim shaping, the SES 5.6 sees increased depth without a decrease in stability.

The all-new SES rim profile has revised curvature and increased widths that are optimized for 25mm tyres in modern frames with greater clearances. Adding tubeless compatibility for decreased rolling resistance, along with their bar-setting carbon braking surface makes this the ultimate road-racing wheelset for everyday use.

At 54mm depth in the front, and 63mm depth in the rear, the SES 5.6 was painstakingly refined to achieve the optimal combination of strength, stiffness, and lightweight for the application for which it was designed. In the case of the SES 5.6 – Road Racing.

At ENVE, only the best materials are used in the construction of their rims. In this case, 100% unidirectional carbon fibre. Over the years Enve have developed and identified specific construction methods, resin systems, and manufacturing techniques that best serve the applications for which each is intended. The result is that each rim has a dedicated laminate to ensure the best performance. Laminate is optimised to create a structure that achieves the desired impact resistance, stiffness, and compliance.

Greater speed, comfort, grip and puncture resistance – what’s not to like about road tubeless? With the selection of a high performance tyre at the right pressure, you can achieve lower rolling resistance and more speed. Tubeless also allows you to run much lower tyre pressures for far greater comfort, traction, and efficiency, especially over poor road surfaces and gravel, all without sacrificing speed. The potential for pinch flats and, with sealant, debris punctures is all but eliminated.

ENVE recognised early that road tubeless technology is here to stay and they drew on their years of experience making the world’s best mountain bike wheels to optimise the SES range for tubeless. With rims going wider and frames giving more clearance, the key aspects of bike design were aligned to make tubeless the best choice: wider rims make it easier to mount tubeless tyres. Disc brakes add even more benefits for tubeless, typically allowing larger tyres as well as removing issues of heat at the rim.

But, with that said, while disc brakes are commonplace on the road, Enve acknowledge that they’re not necessary for, nor desired by everyone.
For the rim brake rider looking for uncompromised braking performance, the company's textured full carbon brake track features industry leading heat resistance, uncontested stopping power, and modulation in wet or dry weather conditions. Three elements, all the product of relentless research and development, make up NBT. First is the molded-in brake surface texture which provides more friction and allows water to be cleared almost instantly. Second is the advanced high-temperature resin system which eliminates the heat build-up issues that other carbon clinchers can suffer, so you can ride long descents with total confidence. Third is the unique ENVE Black pad compound which is designed to work with the molded texture to provide incredible all-weather stopping power along with good durability.

Enve's NBT delivers near equal wet and dry performance, 30% less lever force required for the same stopping power and exceptional heat management: it’s no wonder that BikeRadar.com said that Enve's NBT brake track “sets new standards for carbon wheels”. Your rim brake bike will be given a huge braking performance boost.

By employing the latest Smart ENVE System aero technologies, the SES 5.6 is faster, more stable, and designed to seamlessly pair with modern road bikes to improve your performance and ride experience.

The Enve 5.6 is ideal for road racers and triathletes looking to maximize speed and efficiency through class leading aerodynamics paired with rolling resistance defying road tubeless technology.
