Since not everyone wants to transition to disc brakes on their road bikes, it’s nice that ENVE still produces their excellent ENVE SES 3.4 Carbon Clincher Wheelset for a 700c road bike. ENVE calls these climbing wheels with an aero advantage since they are extremely lightweight, but still offer the SES technology that has the front wheel with a slightly less deep profile than the rear, in this case 38mm vs 42mm. That allows the front wheel to feel more stable in high winds while the deeper dish of the rear improves airflow attachment. You don’t have to worry about braking issues since ENVE has refined and perfected their textured full carbon brake track that works nearly identically in dry and wet conditions. Just make sure you are using the specific ENVE black carbon brake pads for best performance. These clinchers are also tubeless compatible with the required rim strips and valve extender included.
