Road Tire
Construction
From all choices is clincher tyre the heaviest. Necessity to use a much heavier inner tube that adds more weight and increases rolling resistance.
- Necessity to inner tube - an extra part and more weight
- Clincher tyre is heavier compare to tubular
- Higher rolling resistance compare to tubular
- In case of puncture is the repair possible (not easy) or the tube has to be changed
- No need to use glue, mounting is quite difficult and sometimes impossible without using tools
- After mounting it can be used immediately
- In case of fast deflation, direct and instant effect on the rider's stability and safety
Details
Tread
produced with natural rubber based compound with Activated Silica.
Protective rubber ply
located underneath the tread, indicates also tyre wear and higher possibility of punctures when showing through the tread (only in specified models).
The carcass
The carcass determines the shape, strength, and driving characteristics of the tyre. Its quality is often expressed in TPI units.
Standard aramid beads for tube type tyres
Inner Tube
Puncture barrier
The anti-puncture layer is a special reinforcement inside the tyre casing that protects against punctures and cuts.
Bead protection
It serves to reinforce the bead area of the tyre, i.e., the place where the tire contacts the rim.
