*** PROMO *** Tubular-Tyre Tufo Hi-Composite Carbon - 23mm - Black

The classic road tubular: composite layer and thin tread for efficiency, without sacrificing mileage.

What it does

The Hi-Composite Carbon is the house's versatile road tubular: fast enough for racing, durable enough for training. It is the model that has contributed most to Tufo's reputation among French cycle dealers, and it is still in the catalogue for that reason.

Where its name comes from

From two things. A composite puncture-protection layer placed under the tread, and a high-carbon tread compound. The first protects, the second resists abrasion — which allows a thinner tread. And a thinner tread deforms less with each wheel revolution: less rolling resistance, without losing longevity. That is the model's central compromise.

Construction and versions

Casing 120/240 TPI, rubber compound SPC Silica, pressure up to 12 bar in 23 mm. It comes in 23, 25 and 28 mm, in black or beige sidewalls, and as a tubular-clincher (C Hi-Composite Carbon) for hooked rims.

What's inside

Standard puncture protection An extra layer of rubberised casing under the tread: a sufficient barrier against most punctures, without hurting efficiency.	SPC Silica compound Tufo's reference road compound: 66 Shore A, a blend of natural and synthetic rubbers loaded with activated silica, for wet grip and low rolling resistance.
Composite puncture-protection layer A composite layer of rubber and fibres placed under the tread, which allows a thinner tread — and so better efficiency — without losing resistance.
