ENVE

Hex Carapace Tubless Tires

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I mounted the 48mm Carapace for a big mixed-surface race and was blown away. The hex tread pattern really helps with cornering confidence, and they roll smoother than you'd expect from something this tough. Bonus: they set up tubeless without a fight on my SES wheels."

The ENVE HEX Carapace Tubeless Tires are engineered for riders who demand maximum durability without sacrificing speed. Featuring a unique hexagonal tread design, the HEX Carapace delivers excellent rolling performance while maintaining traction on hardpack, loose, or mixed terrain. The tread blocks are de-coupled from the casing to allow greater terrain conformity and consistent grip across varied surfaces.

Kevlar bead-to-bead protection shields both tread and sidewalls from punctures and abrasion, while an anti-pinch bumper and extended chafer strip help guard against flats on sharp hits or low-pressure setups. The tire's casing remains supple despite its toughness, allowing the HEX to corner confidently while maintaining ride comfort on long endurance days.

Offered in 40mm, 44mm, and 48mm widths, each with scaled tread for optimized performance by size, the HEX Carapace pairs seamlessly with ENVE’s G Series and SES wheels. For gravel racers, bikepackers, and hard-charging weekend riders alike, this tire combines the best of fast rolling, reliable traction, and flat-free confidence.
