ENVE 3.4 SES Clincher/Chris King R45 Road Disc Wheelset

Chris King R45 Disc Hubs

A lightweight disc compatible hubset designed expressly for the new era of disc brake equipped road and cyclocross bikes.
Our high performance R45 Disc hubs are built to meet the requirements of the world’s most demanding road and cyclocross riders with the long-term performance, durability, and serviceability that you expect from Chris King components. We equip our R45 Discs with the same race proven 45 point RingDrive engagement system and exceedingly smooth in-house.
These hubs feature an exquisitely machined 6-bolt disc mount that melds current disc mount specifications with elegant design for a beautiful finish and seamless integration. The front hub retains traditional 100mm spacing while the rear hub is designed around 135mm spacing, which has been established as the industry standard for disc compatible road and cyclocross bicycles.
The stainless-steel R45 Disc bearings are made in-house in Portland, Oregon and individually hand-checked for precision and smoothness. Our proprietary bearing design allows us to place more rolling elements per bearing meaning greater durability and precision. Our bearings also feature lightweight, low-friction seals for fast rolling and can be easily serviced at regular intervals using only a single 2.5 mm hex wrench and penknife.

Why did we make it?

Disc brakes on road bikes are here to stay and we believe in an optimized solution for this application. By pairing Smart ENVE System aerodynamics and ENVE mountain rim technologies we’ve created a disc specific road wheelset that reduces weight, and improves strength over the standard rim brake SES 3.4 models. These attributes mean that the fun doesn’t have to stop when the pavement ends.
