ENVE SES 5.6 Disc Jet 12/142 Clincher/XDR Road Wheelset

The ultimate disc brake specific, aerodynamic, and lightweight road race wheelset has been optimises 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 optimised for larger volume road tyres.

Most disc brake wheelsets are simple repurposed rim brake wheels with disc hubs. 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.

Disc brake technology offers improved braking performance for amateur and professional road cyclists alike. Carbon fibre braking surfaces are a major design constraint that limits weight savings and rim design. By removing the constraints of a braking surface, you can completely rethink the shape of the rim. The SES 5.6 Disc features patented SES rim curvature but has been further optimised 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 be eliminated. This allows for a more structurally efficient and impact resistant rim. Finally, the SES 405 Disc carbon clincher is road tubeless compatible and can still be run with standard inner tubes and tyres. Like the current generation SES Carbon Clinchers and Tubulars, the 5.6 Disc has been aerodynamically optimised around 25mm tyres.
