What are the features that make it awesome?
SERIES – TE (Team Edition)
Race Day Performance – The go-to for our professional athletes, TEAM EDITION tires are a step up in casings and compounds and are the ideal balance of features for special efforts.
CASING – Corespun Cotton 320TPI
Corespun Cotton with thread counts of 320-350tpi is naturally softer and more supple than polyester but is more likely to absorb water so we seal our cotton sidewalls for increased durability.
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.
