Hex Carapace
Great tire, fast and great grip in the corners! These tires feel lively with the added bonus of Kevlar sidewall protection. We ride in the Sierras were there is plenty of chunk and they have held up well!

Solid Gravel Tire
I have a couple hundred miles on these now and initial impressions are good. They run pretty true to stated size on the ENVE 4.5s, both the 44s and the 48s. They aren't a super fast tire but roll really well on pavement while still providing confidence to send it on gravel. If the long-term durability holds up, would definitely buy again and would probably try the regular Hex as well.

Fast, comfortable and adequate Grip!
These roll faster and smoother than I would expect from a tire that corners well, and vice-versa. They set up true to size on a 27mm internal rim and I'm enjoying them quite a bit. The 44 fit my allroad fork once I used a fingernail clipper to remove the plentiful rubber hairs, LOL. 40c in the rear fit with plenty of clearance.
