Technology
Our main products are tubular tyres, tubular tyres for clincher rims (tubular clinchers) and standard clincher tyres. Construction of tubular tyres and tubular clinchers is essentially the same, consisting of closed tubular toroid. Difference is only in the installation of the tyre on the rim.
Tubular Clincher
Unique patented construction. No extra investment in switching from clincher tyres to tubular clincher tyres. Riding properties are equal to those of tubular tyres.

Carbon Black
A durable tread compound that has proven its quality for years. This standard compound with a high content of Carbon black quarantees very good mileage for road tubulars, durability and puncture resistance in certain cyclo-cross tubulars and low weight for means of which the high modulus long aramid fibres are introduced into the tyre carcass during the technological process. CRCA increases the puncture resistance and total carcass strength. CRCA improves riding comfort and decreses vibrations. In all models.
Oil Silica
A soft compound (60 Shore A) developed for MTB cross country and marathon tubulars. Adding a reasonable amount of oil to a polymer blend with Activated Silica improves traction and reduces rolling resistance. Reasonable tread wear.
Side Skin
A very light rubber/polyester composite antipuncture layer. This is used in Calibra tyres to enhance sidewall durability.
TUFO Aramid Beads
Aramid beads developed for tubeless-ready tires with focus on safety. The beads are specially treated to adhere and stay firmly fixed inside.
SPC Silica
We use this high performance road racing tread compound in the majority of our road tubulars. With 66 Shore A hardness this well-balanced blend of synthetic and natural rubbers with Activated Silica filler provides tubulars with excellent wet grip and low rolling resistance.
BIC Silica
A compound for indoor sports on wooden or plastic floors. Used in Cycle-ball, Artistic cycling and wheelchairs sports tubulars for excellent traction and quick handling. Manufactured in many colours including black, this compound doesn’t leave any colour marks on floors. Not suitable for wet conditions.
LPS Silica
This natural rubber based compound with Activated Silica offers lower rolling resistance than SPC. The softer 63 Shore A hardness compound used in Calibra road tyres is the key factor for speed, ride comfort and predictable cornering. Despite its softness the LPS Silica compound also gives very good mileage to our road tyres. Thanks to its natural rubber and Activated Silica blend excels especially at low temperature and provides our Flexus cyclocross tubulars with a supple ride and an unbeatable grip on snow and ice.
Sidewall Protection
We implemented sidewall protection in our Gravel and XC range. A layer of nylon fabric on the sidewalls provides additional protection and stability at low pressures.
NAN Silica
This is an indoor wooden track specific compound for extra speed, grip and quick handling. Not suitable for wet conditions.
Puncture Barrier Standard
Our standard puncture barrier is made of an additional layer of rubberized carcass placed under the tread. It provides adequate protection along with good rolling resistance.
Grip Silica Tread Compound
Specially developer tread compound with nanostructure silica-treated rubber using advanced mixing technology. The main advantage of this compound is its adhesion. This mixture is further divided into other variants, each specially modified for different disciplines.
Tubeless Ready Compound
Our standart TR mixture with nano blocks prevents gas permeability. The tubeless-ready tire features an airtight rubber compound incorporated directly into the tire carcass, which holds air pressure.
Liquid Rubber Compound
Made with exceptional care using liquid rubber and nanostructured silica. This advanced carcass compound, with low hysteresis, is incorporated into Tufo’s high-end road tyres.
Low Modulus Compound
The low modulus combined with high tensile strength gives this compound excellent performance for road and track cycling.
Puncture Barrier Vectran™
The most durable material in our portfolio. A puncture barrier made from Vectran™ – a liquid crystal polymer {LCP} that is five times stronger than steel. It is the perfect protection against punctures, cuts and breakthroughs.
