Technologies
Trail Shield casing
A tyre’s casing is made up of different thickness threads to meet the athletes needs in robustness, flexibility, efficiency and lightweight terms. The more threads there are, the finer they are, making the construction lighter. On the contrary, the less threads there are, the bigger they are, making the tyre stronger. TPI (Threads Per Inch) refers to the density of threads per inch.
The Trail Shield casing is specifically designed for All Mountain and Trail use. A high density construction (3x60 TPI) offers durability and performance that will satisfy even the most demanding cyclists.
Mescola Gum X3D
Rubber is one of the key components of a tyre. It provides different performance characteristics according to its composition. Gum X3D Tri-Compound is a combination of 3 different compounds that offers maximum traction, durability and puncture resistance.
Tubeless Ready
UST Tubeless Ready tyres can be mounted without an inner tube following a few simple rules:
- use a tubeless wheel type;
- do not exceed the maximum tyre pressure;
- use a tubeless tyre sealant;
- check the tyre pressure before each ride.
Michelin TS
The flexible beads invented and developed by Michelin are made exclusively of aramide fibers, which are usually used for bulletproof vests. Its structure has a very great resistance to extension whilst being very lightweight.
These beads therefore have the special features of being very light and very strong, which reduces the overall weight by 40 to 70 grams per tyre.
