ENVE SES 8.9 Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel R45 Hub Shimano Freehub

Fast, aerodynamic, stable and durable, the ENVE SES 8.9 Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel R45 Hub Shimano Freehub is the ideal time trial or triathlon rear wheel. A 95-millimetre rear clincher wheel paired to a Chris King R45 hub. Pushing the barriers of high-performance wheels, the 8.9 is the third incarnation of the Smart ENVE System design.

Simon Smart, a renowned aerodynamics engineer with 15 years experience working with some of Formula One’s leading teams, was brought on board by ENVE in 2010 and since then has transformed the brand.

Smart recognised a traditional aero rim reduces drag but often leads the rider fighting the wheel when steering, especially in crosswinds. Therefore Smart and ENVE developed a rim that offers the perfect balance between aerodynamics and stability. The ENVE Stability Index (ESI) system was born. Stability and comfort is further provided by a 24-millimetre wide profile, seating the tyre better on the rim and improving control.

What really makes ENVE rims stand out from the competition is the manufacturing process. A process where carbon routing fibres are moulded into the spoke holes, resulting in a high tensioned wheel, minimising spoke breakage and pull through the rim.

Weighing in at a more than competitive 965 grams and housing 20 spokes this is both a lively race wheel that is more than up to the task of dealing with variable road surfaces.

Designed specifically for clincher tyres, this provides versatility and makes swapping between tyres and fixing punctures quick and easy.

The addition of a Vittoria Open Corsa CX III Clincher Tyre with a 23mm width further boosts this wheel's pro-level performance with an elevated level of grip and an ultra-low rolling resistance.

With numerous hours in the wind tunnel testing and picking up many accolades on the triathlon and Ironman race scene, including a win at the 2011 Australian Ironman, the ENVE SES 8.9 Carbon Clincher Rear Wheel R45 Hub Shimano Freehub is the optimum race ready wheel, available in a stylish UNI finish with stealthy black ENVE decals.
