This page is courtesy to ENVE.com and is about helping you go faster with more confidence. Everything about the design and construction of your ENVE wheelset exists for this purpose. However, no matter how good your wheelset is, or how talented you are as a rider, running the wrong tire pressure will make you slower and compromise your ride experience. With that in mind, take a look at the tire pressure charts below to ensure that you’re in the right ballpark when it comes to the tire pressures you’re running.

There are three charts – one for road/paved surfaces, another for gravel/dirt road surfaces, and another for mountain bike applications. Each chart highlights the corresponding ENVE rim models that are commonly used for these surfaces, and if you are not riding ENVE, no worries, simply refer to the inner rim width to find the right pressure for your wheelset.

 

You can find our full range of ENVE products here.

 

CONSIDERATIONS

  1. Your mileage may vary – the listed tire pressures are meant to serve as a starting point to dialing in your tire pressure. At the end of the day, run the tire pressure that you like the best, just mind the maximum inflation ratings of your rim and tire.

    ENVE Maximum PSI Ratings

    SES (Hooked Versions Pre- 2022) = 120 psi (23-28 mm Tire)

    SES Hookless = 80 psi (SES 3.4, SES 4.5) (27-29 mm Tire), 67 psi (>30 mm Tire), 90 psi (SES 2.3, SES 6.7) (25 mm Tire)

    Foundation Road = 90 psi (25mm Tire), 80 psi (>27 mm Tire)

    SES AR = 80 psi (27-29 mm Tire), 67 psi (>30 mm Tire)

    G23 = 60 psi (32-40 mm Tire)

    G27 = 40 psi (42-50 mm Tire)

    AG28 = 45 psi (45-55 mm Tire)

    AG25 = 55 psi (32-40 mm Tire), 50 psi (41-50 mm Tire)
    M Series & AM30 = Varies per Model

  2. If your recommended tire pressure is near the maximum pressure rating for the rim, we recommend moving up in tire volume. Remember, as tire size and therefore volume increase, you can decrease tire pressure. For example, 90psi in a 25mm tire will feel the same as roughly 70 psi in a 28mm tire. Let’s say you’re a large 240 to 250 lb. rider – rather than run a 28mm tire at 70-80 psi on your set of SES AR wheels, you should consider running a 30-32mm tire. You’ll be able to run a lower tire pressure and at the same time achieve a better ride experience as a result of the additional tire volume.
     
  3. M Series, G Series, and the SES 3.4 AR wheel models feature integrated anti-pinch flat technologies and the pressures in these charts take that into consideration. Therefore, if you are not running one of the aforementioned wheel models, you may need to increase the suggested tire pressure to prevent pinch-flats.
     
  4. Is your pump’s gauge accurate? We’ve learned that not all pumps and gauges are created equal and pump gauges can vary greatly. Valve stem cores that are clogged with sealant will also negatively affect pressure accuracy. To experience accurate inflation consider replacing your tubeless valve cores here.

 

ROAD | PAVED

Red = Maximum Recommended Tire Pressure for Given Rim & Tire Volume Combo on Paved Road Surfaces
Note: Tire pressures are intended as a starting recommendation based on the listed wheel being set up with tubeless tire. The pressure value is calculated considering a tubeless set up, intended road surface, rider's weight with full gear, average bike weight, inner rim width, and tire volume.

 

MOUNTAIN

For high-traction trail conditions, the upper end of our recommended pressures may not be sufficient. Therefore, we recommend that you increase your tire pressure 5-10% at a time until you find your optimal tire pressure. Examples of high traction conditions would include loam, sandstone/slickrock, tacky flow trails, etc…
If running tires with double ply, triple ply, or DH casings, consider testing the lower range of the recommended tire pressures and move up or down from there until you’ve found your optimal tire pressure.

GRAVEL | DIRT

Recommended Max Tire Pressure for Given Rim & Tire Volume Combo on Gravel Road Surfaces
Note: Tire pressures are intended as a starting recommendation based on the listed wheel being set up with tubeless tire.
The pressure value is calculated considering a tubeless set up, intended road surface, rider's weight with full gear, average bike weight, inner rim width, and tire volume.
