ENVE SES 2.3 Carbon Front Road Bike Wheel

Built for climbing, composed on the descent.

The ENVE SES 2.3 front wheel is ENVE’s answer for riders who measure their rides in vertical gain. At just 558 grams with tape and valve installed, it’s one of the lightest disc-brake carbon front wheels available. Its 28mm rim depth still carries real aerodynamic benefit through the valleys between climbs and stays steady in crosswinds on exposed descents.

Derived from the proven SES 3.4, the 2.3 keeps the Smart ENVE System approach of tuning front and rear rim depths separately. The shallower 28mm front profile is optimized for the air hitting the front of the bike and pairs with the 32mm SES 2.3 rear. The result is quick, predictable steering when the road tilts down and the wind picks up.

Why Riders Choose It

• Exceptionally light. A 275-gram rim and a complete front wheel weight of 558 grams make this an ideal upgrade for climbers and weight-conscious builds. As part of the full SES 2.3 wheelset, it comes in under 1,200 grams.
• Aero where it counts. The 28mm depth gives measurable efficiency on flat and rolling terrain without the crosswind sensitivity of deeper rims, which is an important trait in mountain environments.
• Hookless tubeless precision. The hookless bead design lets ENVE remove weight while tuning ride comfort and keeping strength. It also holds a tight bead seat diameter for a secure, consistent tubeless setup.
• Optimized for modern tire widths. The 21mm internal and 24mm external rim profile is aero-optimized around a 27mm tire, with a 25mm minimum labeled tire size.
• ENVE INNERDRIVE™ Premium hub. A straight-pull, Centerlock disc hub built for smooth, reliable performance.

Ideal For

Climbing-focused road riders, Gran Fondo and mountain-event participants, and anyone building a lightweight disc road bike who wants a front wheel that performs on the way up and the way down.

Important Fitment Notes

• Road use only. Because of its ultralight construction, this rim is not suitable for gravel or off-road riding.
• Disc brake and tubeless only. This wheel is not compatible with rim brakes.
• Centerlock lockring sold separately.
• Hookless rim. Use only hookless-compatible tubeless tires and follow ENVE’s maximum tire pressure guidance.

The Victory Difference

Choosing a wheel at this level is about more than the spec sheet. Our team can confirm frame and tire compatibility, set up your tubeless system with the right tire and pressure for your weight and terrain, and fine-tune your bike fit around the upgrade. That way your new wheel performs the way ENVE intended from the first ride.
