The HEX gravel tire combines performance and traction for consistent handling across varied surfaces.

The HEX gravel tire combines the elements required for those seeking a performance option that doesn’t sacrifice traction. A novel tread design features hexagonal blocks that allow a three-way flex pattern to add suppleness to the casing, allowing the tire to conform to varied surface conditions for consistent handling. This provides both driving and braking traction for confident handling.

Pioneered on the SES Race Day road tire, the HEX uses a nano-particle-enhanced rubber compound that reduces rolling resistance, improves traction, and extends tread wear. Combined with a supple casing, the HEX delivers a supple ride quality and rolling efficiency.

The hexagonal tread pattern's detached progressive spacing further improves rolling performance while adeptly clearing debris and enhancing cornering bite. De-coupled tread blocks enable the casing to flex and conform to the terrain, maximizing traction and rolling performance.

Balancing efficient rolling and traction is where the HEX stands out. A cat-tongue tread feature provides both driving and braking traction for confident handling. The 40c and 44c sizes use a scaled tread to ensure the maximum level of traction possible by tire size.

Featuring a sub-tread barrier for anti-flat protection without diminishing the HEX’s rolling efficiency and ride quality. Additionally, the chafer strip at the tire’s bead is extended to offer a greater level of pinch-flat protection.
