This has to be pretty much as good as it gets in terms of the ultimate wheel build. Chris King hubs laced to ENVE SES rims with Sapim CX Ray spokes.

Chis King R45D hubs - The R45 Centerlock™ hubs combine a lightweight hub body, our legendary made-in-house bearings, and Centerlock compatibility. The result rolls better, lasts longer, sounds cooler, and looks way more handsome than anything else out there.

On top of all that, the 45 points of simultaneous engagement in this hub improve power transfer and traction thanks to our patented RingDrive™ system.

Our bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical-grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you will feel (and hear) on every ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish, they actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e., service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use.

All Chris King rear hubs come with that signature “angry bee” sound.

ENVE SES 4.5 Rims - Go anywhere, fast. The original modern, tubeless road wheel was the first of its kind to pair the rolling efficiency of high volume with world-class aerodynamics. With a 49mm front and 55mm rear the 4.5 is re-engineered to reduce weight and further expand its capabilities across every terrain. The go-to wheelset for fast riding on rolling terrain. The high volume optimized aero road wheel that started the performance all road, tubeless, hookless revolution loses the “AR” moniker and gains greater compliance, lower weight, and ENVE’s proven Wide Hookless Bead pinch-flat prevention technology. It’s the same, but better in every way.

Spokes - Sapim CX Ray black - Light, aero and immensely strong. The CX-Ray still receives the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for most bicycle disciplines. The middle section of the spoke is drawn then pressed in a special mould to form its specific profile. CX-Ray spokes are used by top bike racers and triathletes around the world. Even downhillers use them, recognizing their strength and flexibility. Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production make this all possible.

These wheels are meticulously hand built to order using our state of the art P&K Lie Special 250 wheel truing stand and highly accurate, calibrated P&K Lie spoke tension meters. Noting leaves our bench until it is as good as it can be.
