ENVE HEX Carapace Gravel Tires Flat-free confidence, without the rolling resistance tax. The ENVE HEX Carapace is built for gravel riders who venture into moderate to rough terrain and can't afford to cut the day short due to a flat. Bead-to-bead Kevlar protection covers the tread, sidewall, and bead for serious flat resistance without dragging down overall rolling efficiency. The hexagonal tread pattern uses decoupled blocks that flex independently to conform to the terrain, improving traction and rolling performance at the same time. A cat-tongue tread feature delivers reliable driving and braking grip, while scaled tread by size ensures the right amount of traction regardless of width. Available in 40, 44, 48, and 52mm widths in black or tan. Features Bead-to-bead Kevlar full protection covers the tread and sidewall, with an anti-pinch bumper and chafer strip at the bead for maximum flat resistance on rough and mixed terrain Hexagonal decoupled tread blocks flex independently in three directions, allowing the casing to conform to varied surfaces for consistent traction and efficient rolling across hardpack, mixed, and loose conditions Cat-tongue tread feature provides both driving and braking grip for confident handling in variable conditions Scaled tread by size ensures optimal traction density regardless of width, so every size performs at the same level Tubeless ready with tube-type compatibility, and optimized for hookless rim designs Available in 40, 44, 48, and 52mm widths in black or tan SPECIFICATIONSTread Application Hardpack, mixed, loose Tire Type Tubeless Ready / Tube-type compatible Sidewall Protection Kevlar Full Protection Tread Protection Kevlar Full Protection Bead Protection Anti-Pinch Bumper and Chafer Strip Weight (40mm)470g Weight (44mm)500g Weight (48mm)550g Weight (52mm)640g Intended Use Gravel, All-Road, Adventure | Enve | Hex Carapace 700C Tire | Black | 52Mm
