Why the ENVE HEX Tire Stands Out

Built for riders who demand performance on every surface, the ENVE HEX tire blends traction, speed, and durability like never before. Its unique hexagonal tread pattern allows the tire to flex in multiple directions, improving grip and handling across varied terrain. A cat-tongue tread design boosts both climbing and braking traction, while the scaled tread on the 40c and 44c sizes ensures max grip for any setup.

Inside, a sub-tread barrier and extended chafer strip protect against flats without compromising speed or ride quality. Paired with a nano-enhanced rubber compound, the HEX delivers a smooth, efficient ride with long-lasting durability — perfect for gravel, road, and everything in between.

Why Chain Waxing?

1.  You will be faster. It is literally free speed.  Depending upon what kind of lube you are currently using, Silca wax will get you between 3 and 10 watts. 

2.  Your drive train will last much, much longer.  As much as Venture Sports and every other bike shop loves to sell you new chains, cassettes and chain rings, wouldn’t you rather spend your money on other things? By waxing your chains you will preserve the life of your drivetrain and the need to replace parts less often.

3.  Waxed chains stay incredibly clean—no more greasy calf tattoos, messy hands, or chain marks on your gear. You can ride hard and still brush up against your bike without ruining your clothes.

4.  Believe it or not, waxing is actually easier than using traditional lube. Once your chain and drivetrain are clean, all it takes is a quick wipe and a dip in the hot wax. That’s it—low effort, high reward, and totally hassle-free.
