Tough rides call for tough tires. That's why many riders look toward the Paris-Roubaix when hitting the cobbles. This world-class tire includes a round profile with a tread that wraps further around the casing for increased grip over rough pavement and packed dirt. This handmade tubular combines a supple, 1000+ TPI Sealed Silk casing with natural rubber tread, and a seamless latex inner tube for improved comfort, confident cornering, and quick handing. The latex tube is lighter, thinner, and more flexible than a butyl tube, increasing your comfort, lowering your rolling resistance, and helping to prevent flats. The tube also includes a removable core Presta valve. This tire includes PPS2, a combination of the sub-tread Puncture Protection System, and an additional layer inside the casing to increase resistance to punctures.
