LifeLine Prime Armour Road tyres combine the speed-focused properties of the Prime Race model with advanced puncture protection features for added confidence on difficult road surfaces, remote endurance rides and fast regular commutes. Please read the Review from BikesEtc magazine. Also, please read the Review from Road.cc The slick centre tread keeps straight line rolling resistance to an absolute minimum while a channeled pattern in the shoulders provides increased grip in the corners and helps to shift surface water in wet conditions. The 70a durometer compound offers increased traction for confidence on twisty descents and hairpin turns. Effective Puncture Protection A tough and lightweight Kevlar breaker sits beneath the tread to guard against road debris, helping prevent punctures caused by rolling directly over sharp objects. In addition, the entire casing includes nylon reinforcement for defense at the sidewalls. The 120tpi (threads per inch) casing provides increased strength and flexibility while reducing weight. This allows the tyre to withstand the high pressures needed for racing, and the reduced rotational mass offers faster acceleration and agile handling. The aramid folding beads provide a secure interface with the rim whilst also allowing easy installation. 23mm or 25mm? LifeLine Prime Armour Road Tyres are available in 23mm and 25mm options so you can choose between the feedback and precision of 23s, or the more cushioned and stable feel of 25s.

The dual compound is a fusion of their two finest compounds, which will give superb braking in all weather conditions. This combination produces a more controlled smooth stop!
