Introducing the IRC Formula Pro RBCC TL Tubeless tyre. Based on the feedback from the IRC-sponsored Nippo Vini-Fantini Professional Road Team, IRC improved RBCC tread compound to create a tyre that provides superior grip in wet and dry conditions, then reduced the rolling resistance by 10%, while providing exceptional rider comfort and puncture resistance. They added a wider tread to all their Formula Pro Tubeless tyres to better protect the casing and improve puncture resistance and boost durability. With improved sidewall protection and handling, this tyre begs to be ridden over pavement and gravel.
With an extra-wide tread and a new puncture-resistant belt, the IRC Formula Pro Tubeless X-Guard is the toughest tyre in the Formula Pro line. The X-Guard Belt++ covers the tyre sidewall from bead to bead with a 40x40 TPI anti-puncture protection barrier. Unlike other puncture-resistant tyres, the X-Guard sacrifices nothing when it comes to riding in dry and wet conditions. If road hazards are a concern, this is the tyre for you.

The IRC Formula Pro RBCC Tubeless Road Tyre is race tyre with the emphasis on wet grip and durability. This tyre is the ultimate all round race tyre. Offers superb grip in wet conditionsHighly durable tyre with a high TPI casingRace proven tyres fully tested in the UKOffers a superb ride and low rolling resistanceMore tread cover on the tyre improves grip in cornersThere are lower rolling resistance tyres, but they tend to puncture more easily and don't have the same grip across a range of conditions. The rice bran ceramic compound (RBCC) has been revised to improve grip in wet conditions. IRC claim a 4% improvement and a 10% drop in rolling resistance. These are race tyres and have been race proven in the U.K throughout 2017/18. After a season racing by Team on Form the tyres and a Belgian team are not even close to worn and have helped the riders clock up wins. The tread rubber now covers more of the tyre so you can lean even further into a bend than you probably should. The natural latex lining is retained to improve comfort and reduce rolling resistance. The High TPI casing means the ride on these tyres is sublime. Rough roads are taken in their stride. The new tyres measure 25mm and 28mm on wide rims! Unlike most brands IRC know wide rims offer the best performance and a 28mm tyre that sits like a 31mm tyre is not going to fit in many bikes. The tyres also do not sit tall and this is useful for those running mudguards.
The IRC Roadlite Tubeless Road Tyre is specifically developed for training and endurance riding although that is what IRC think. Really it is a racing tyre that can do everything. A great tyre for training and endurance but a true do it all tyreLowest rolling resistance in the IRC rangeFantastic durability & a smooth rideHigh abrasion and wear resistanceGreat grip on offer in both wet and dry conditionsIn fact, out of IRC range this tyre has the lowest rolling resistance (making as fast as the Schwalbe one a bit behind the pro one but since it more durable you have your trade off). IRC uses a high abrasion resistant rubber compound for the tread to increase durability and give low rolling resistance. Additionally, while the casing may only be 120tpi the ride is very smooth.The tyre is coated with a layer of butyl rubber to reduce air loss to a very slow rate indeed. This also means the tyre can be repaired with a glue patch. The tyre is very wear resistant. Grip is good in both wet and the dry. the This tyre does not have the cut resistance of the formula pro tyres, but neither is it puncture prone. This is the trade-off over the IRC formula pro tyres.
