Road Tyre
Construction
From all choices is clincher tyre the heaviest. Necessity to use a much heavier inner tube that adds more weight and increases rolling resistance.
- Necessity to inner tube - an extra part and more weight
- Clincher tyre is heavier compare to tubular
- Higher rolling resistance compare to tubular
- In case of puncture is the repair possible (not easy) or the tube has to be changed
- No need to use glue, mounting is quite difficult and sometimes impossible without using tools
- After mounting it can be used immediately
- In case of fast deflation, direct and instant effect on the rider's stability and safety

A
Tread
produced with natural rubber based compound with Activated Silica.
B
Protective rubber ply
located underneath the tread, indicates also tyre wear and higher possibility of punctures when showing through the tread (only in specified models).
C
The carcass
The carcass determines the shape, strength, and driving characteristics of the tyre. Its quality is often expressed in TPI units.
D
Standard aramid beads for tube type tyres
E
Inner Tube
F
Puncture barrier
The anti-puncture layer is a special reinforcement inside the tyre casing that protects against punctures and cuts.
