DUNE Ultra - Handmade Tubular
$149.99
The Dune is the Belgian's secret skill-building tire. Like the Chicane, this tire is a super fast rolling sand tire that also works incredibly well on frozen courses. The small shoulder knobs are intended for riders with great bike handling skills.
This handmade SETA EXTRA (Ultra) tubular uses an ultra-compliant sealed Silk 1000TPI casing for unmatched performance with our SmartSoft compound for ultra-low rolling resistance and ultra-traction. A seamless latex inner tube improves grip at lower pressures.
Remember you may need to use Challenge Presta Valve Extenders when mounting tubulars on deep-profile rims.

What are the features that make it awesome?
SERIES – ULTRA
Best of the Best – The extreme expense of silk (seta, in Italian) construction means ULTRA series tires are primarily for World Championship and Olympic competitions.
CASING – Silk 1000TPI
Silk is a strong, soft, natural fiber with thread counts over 1000tpi. The ability of our compliant sealed-silk tires to conform to even the smallest surface feature gives them great traction and very low rolling resistance.
CASING PROTECTION – Standard
Our handmade Super Polyester, Corespun Cotton and Silk casings are tougher than Nylon and offer a margin of increased cut resistance when compared to standard vulcanized tires.
TREAD COMPOUND – SMARTSOFT
A more compliant rubber compound fine-tuned by Cyclocross World Champions for a smooth ride and maximum grip. SMARTsoft is also used on the special tires we developed with British Cycling for their Track program.
PUNCTURE PROTECTION – PPS
Our Puncture Protection System (PPS) is a tough, tightly-woven fabric placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance.
