The ENVE Air Pressure Station is an automatic digital inflator that helps to seat, and accurately inflate any tire to within a .5% of a psi or bar. The Air Pressure Station connects to your existing air compressor, or bottled air and mounts cleanly on any wall or surface for an instant upgrade to your garage, service shop, van, or trailer. The unit features a digital interface, three tire pressure presets, tubeless tire/flat tire override function for safe and efficient tubeless tire seating, and a mobile device scannable NFC tag that directs the user to ENVE’s latest tire pressure recommendation charts. Unit includes a 15 foot coiled air hose, fittings, and custom ENVE adjustable presta valve air chuck.
I have to say the chuck looks a lot like the Silca Hiro Side Lever Chuck… certainly a sort of knock off/ imitation of it. When you look at the price of the Silca Super pista which is a way more beautiful in my opinion the price is not that far out there… but you still need a compressor or bottled gas on top of the price for the inflation station.
So you found the new Air Pressure Station, pretty cool right? As noted, these are not inexpensive devices, and sure the idea isn’t super novel, but it hadn’t been done yet in bike and it needed to be. The price will be prohibitive for some, but we knew that launching the project. Our hope with the Air Pressure Station is that this unit will help get the cycling public as a whole more educated and on the same page when it comes to tire pressures. Rims and tires have max pressure ratings and if you’re not using a calibrated accurate pressure gauge, there is a real risk for over inflation - especially with the larger tire and rim volumes used for all-road and gravel riding. Where we expect 90% of these units to end up though are in ENVE Ride Centers (Check out our Dealer Locator as each one of these locations will have one of these units set up within the next couple weeks), team trailers/vans/trucks, professional service courses, and in the trailers of bike brand demo fleets.
If you’re in a financial situation where you can afford to put one of these units in your garage, you’ll be treated to an inflation experience second to none. It’s amazingly convenient, and after a few uses, you’ll never want to touch a floor pump again. Finally, we go to great lengths to develop the fastest, most stable wheels on the planet, and at the end of the day if someone is running too high, or too low tire pressure, those incremental gains we work so hard to deliver by refining the laminate, rim shape, etc… are simply erased. Riding the right tire pressure will ensure faster bike splits achieved in more confidence. That’s what this is all about.

What? .5% of a psi is 0.05 psi and .5% of a bar is 0.73 psi. They’re different and neither seems realistic. Do you mean 0.5% of reading, between some range?
