ENVE - G SES 6.7 PRO WHEELS

G SES is where aerodynamics meet the realities of modern gravel. As gravel racing has evolved, the demands on equipment have changed with it. Higher speeds now require larger-volume tyres – not only for comfort and handling, but to prevent flats from hidden rocks and ruts in the pace line. Pair those speeds with today’s wide tires, and a huge aerodynamic opportunity opens up. The G SES 6.7 seizes that opportunity, delivering a new level of speed, stability, and efficiency for the modern gravel athlete.

Gravel racers looking to siphon every bit of performance out of their bike and body will appreciate this wheel’s unapologetic commitment to speed. Its advantage is clear everywhere but the hilliest of courses.

• New rim laminate using higher modulus, lower areal weight carbon fiber
• 35 mm inner-rim width maintain clean airflow at the tyre’s leading edge, smoothing the transition across the rim sidewall, yielding significant aerodynamic savings at the modern tyre sizes between 44 and 52mm - sizes that today’s gravel riders actually use.
• Rim Depth Front/Rear: 60/67
• Innerdrive PRO Hub
• ENVE PRO Ceramic Bearings
• Lightweight rim graphics
• Wheelset weight: 1580 grams (including valves and tape)

OFF-ROAD CARBON EXPERTISE

ENVE’s expertise in making rims that have the impact strength to endure the most demanding off-road terrain goes back nearly two decades. The needs of an off-road tyre are different than on road, which requires unique test protocols and design elements. One such element borrowed from our line of mountain bike wheels is the Wide Hookless Bead technology that reduces pinch flats by creating a wider, blunt leading edge that dissipates impact energy.

AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

We had a lot of questions around gravel racing and aerodynamics. A few years ago, we put a plan in place to answer those questions. We wanted to know how aero we could make a gravel wheel/tyre system by optimizing the rim shape to modern-high volume gravel tyres. The result is the G SES 6.7 PRO, the world’s most aerodynamically efficient gravel wheel. We approached this project with open minds and let the wind tunnel and corresponding data drive the solution. The result is a radical wheel that when employed on the right course, will put watts in your pocket, leaving your competition in the dust.

INNERDRIVE GOES PRO

At the core of the G SES 6.7 PRO wheel is the Innerdrive PRO Hubset, which brings ENVE’s proven driver technology to an ultralight straight-pull hub shell. After benchmarking the lightest hubs on the market for weight, stiffness, and durability, we refined Innerdrive for lightweight performance while maintaining the system’s reliability. At just 281 grams for the hubset (rear 194 grams, front 87 grams), the Innerdrive PRO goes head-to-head with the lightest hubs out there without sacrificing the stiffness required by the world’s best.

Utilizing the same Innerdrive technology featured in the Premium Straight-Pull hubs that have been raced in the World Tour for their second season, the Innerdrive PRO Hubset receives the very hop-up kit developed for our professional teams. This includes a light-action ratchet spring for drag reduction and a 40-tooth count ratchet. Like the Premium Innerdrive Hub, the Innerdrive PRO Hub uses the same spoke alignment feature to reduce spoke twisting.

PRO CERAMIC BEARINGS

Bearing drag is influenced by numerous factors, including the bearing seals, ball bearings, races, and carrier. Other factors such as manufacturing consistency, tolerance, grease content and viscosity play roles as well. To control each of these variables, we worked with a leading bearing vendor to create what we believe to be the best ceramic wheel bearing available. ENVE’s new PRO Ceramic Bearings feature hardened stainless-steel races that won’t rust, grade 5 ceramic balls, non-contact seals on the interior-facing bearing for drag reduction, and low-contact seals on the outboard bearing faces to keep out debris. The ENVE Pro Ceramic Bearing solution is one that feels fast in-hand and promises reliability in the long run.
