Ultimate Road Race Wheelset This SES 5.6 Disc Brake wheelset from ENVE is the ultimate disc brake specific, aerodynamic, and lightweight road race wheelset. Aero Optimised for Disc The SES 5.6 Disc is optimized aerodynamically and structurally for disc use. Road cyclists and triathletes on disc brake bikes will benefit from the SES 5.6 Disc’s reduced drag, lightweight design, and rim shape optimized for larger volume road tyres. Only The Best Carbon Laminate 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 application. The result is that the laminate is optimized to create a structure that achieves the desired impact resistance, stiffness, and compliance. Disc Brake Benefits The introduction of the disc brake and the elimination of a braking surface opens up the realm of aerodynamic and structural possibilities. When you don’t have to engineer a flat braking surface and manage high temperatures from braking, you can reduce the rim’s weight, adjust shape for improved aerodynamics and provide better tubeless performance. Lightweight, Aerodynamic, Impact Resistant The SES 5.6 Disc features patented SES rim curvature but has been further optimized for disc brakes. Additionally, the SES 5.6 Disc carbon fibre clinchers and tubulars are very lightweight because the material used for heat management can been eliminated. This allows for a more structurally efficient and impact resistant rim. Finally, the SES 5.6 Disc carbon clincher is road tubeless compatible and can still be run with standard inner tubes and tyres. Like the current generation of SES carbon clinchers and tubulars, the 5.6 Disc has been aerodynamically optimized around 25mm tyres.
