KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Tubeless is the future and the future is now. The benefits of road tubeless are as follows:
Lower rolling resistance
Flat less, ride more – Flat tires are a buzz-kill
Run the Best Pressure.Visit ourTire Pressure Pageto dial in your optimum tire pressure
Hookless/Straight-Sidewall Design - ENVE chooses a hookless tubeless rim profile as it allows the rim’s critical tolerance at the bead seat diameter to be both consistent and accurate
The ENVE 45 is optimized for use with tubeless tires greater than 25mm wide.Please refer to ourTire Compatibility Pageto see what tires are approved/recommended for use with the ENVE 45.
