The protection offered against penetration and pinch flats is 300% better than standard tyres. Panaracer's new Mile Cruncher rubber compound ensures long life durability, fantastic grip and great ride comfort. The All Contact tread shape optimises tyre performance by minimising rolling resistance and maximising cornering contact with the road.
The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tyre with the centre tread being heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of their 3C Triple Compound mountain technology; Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip. 3C Maxx Terra Compound Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain bike tyres. It is softer and offers more traction than their 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than their Maxx Grip. EXO Protection Technology An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants.
Race Riposte XC (RRxc) Triple Compound Triple compound construction works like this; hard understructure compound (94 ShA) supports the grippy softer lateral compound (50 ShA) as well as the medium durometer rolling compound (70 ShA). The third compound adds another level of structural integrity to the tyre. Tubeless Ready/HardSkin Performance Tubeless technology facilitates low-pressure riding, optimises grip and increases yield, improving tyre performance. Comfort: The Tubeless concept dispenses with the inner tube ensuring incomparable comfort and allowing low-pressure riding. Puncture Resistance: The Hardskin casing reinforcement provides puncture resistance on the tread and sidewalls. Technologies: Gives performance, grip and high-quality fast rolling. Ideally suited for dry and slightly loose XC and Enduro terrain. The ramps on the centre knobs provide excellent and predictable soft and dusty terrain braking. The Lower lateral (side) knobs in three distinct shapes hang on to the trail as the tyre deforms under. HardSkin bead-to-bead puncture protection.
The Ardent doesn't forget the racer with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The centre tread, while ideal for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain biker's needs. Technologies: Dual Compound: Two compounds used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology: Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants. EXO Protection Technology: An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the tyre's performance remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
The Tufo Calibra is an all-round racing or training tyre and features a fine tread pattern and puncture proof ply. Together with activated silica tread compound, the Calibra provides excellent grip on wet or dry roads.
How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.
25mm wide, bead to bead puncture resistant casing reinforcement and an extra millimetre of tread compound makes the Intensive a long wearing and comfortable tyre. Dual compounds make the Intensive a wet or dry weather performer.
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.
