ENVEs SES 7.8 Disc Wheelset is a revolutionary disc brake specific carbon fibre triathlon or time trial wheelset. Aerodynamically and structurally optimised for disc brakes and large volume tyres the wheelset responds to the future of road cycling.

The carbon rim design on the ENVE SES 7.8 wheelset does away with a reinforced brake track, simply because it doesnt need it. This means ENVE has been able to create a lighter rim and making the wheelset even more aerodynamic and impact resistant in the process.

The dissimilar rim depths provide the right performance right where you need it. The shallower 71mm front rim improves stability in gusty winds whilst the 78mm deep rear wheel ensures reduced drag and brings the podium that one step closer.

These clincher tubeless-ready wheels have been designed around 25mm tyres. The increased external rim width means 25mm tyres dont balloon in profile on the rim for less drag and lower rolling resistance. The wheels can be run with tubeless compatible tyres with a tube or set up as tubeless, to unlock even greater performance and puncture protection.

The wheels are available with either Chris King or ENVE hubs.

The Chris King R45D hubs are precision engineered to deliver the superb performance and durability that Chris King is renowned for. Available with the Portland, USA based brands legendary made in-house ceramic or stainless bearings and Chris Kings patented 45-tooth RingDrive system, these hubs offer unmatched engagement and power transfer. Fully serviceable, the R45D hubs promise years of use.

The ENVE Alloy Road Disc hubs are ideal for riders looking for a lightweight hub, with the set weighing under 400g. The hubs are centre lock compatible and have ENVEs Perfect Pre-load system, eliminating bearing play and the need to adjust pre-load yourself.
