Tubular
Construction
The undisputed benchmark for safety and reliability in racing conditions. Thanks to its rim-less design, there is no risk of the tyre coming off in the event of a puncture – you can be sure of control and a safe finish at crucial moments. It remains one of the lightest solutions with minimal rolling resistance and excellent acceleration. The choice for those who don't want to take any risks.
Possibility to use a higher inflation pressure compare to clincher type tyres
In case of fast deflation is the rider's stability and safety not affected as much as in case of clincher tyres
Can be ridden flat in case of emergency
Necessity to glue the tyre to the rim
The puncture repairs are easy in combination Tufo tubular - Tufo sealant
Tread
produced either with rubber compound of activated silica, silica or carbon black (specified for each model).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).Puncture proof ply
made of rubber cord composite.The carcass
plies are overlapped and joined underneath the thread, creating increased TPI (threads per inch) value and better tyre puncture resistance.The base tape
is made of cotton. It absorbs the glue evenly, resulting in optimal bond between the rim and the tyre.Inside airtight layer
is made of a special butyl-rubber compound. Very low air permeability of this layer means long intervals between tyre inflations. Solid bond between the airtight layer and the tyre carcass means lower rolling resistance.
FAST, EASY AND SAFE TUFO TUBULAR INSTALLATION
We have developed special two sided tubular gluing tape for installing our tubulars on carbon or aluminium alloy rim. This tape is very different from all the similar products on the market. It has never been easier and faster to glue a tubular tyre. No waiting time for glue to dry, activated surface of the gluing tape facilitates perfect adhesion of a tubular to a rim after a few meters of riding. No messy glue on rims, tubulars or hands, no harmful vapors. Removable red backing strip makes centering of a tubular very easy.
Three stepped off layers of the gluing tape with active surface make perfect transition between the rim and tubular profiles.
Thin transparent layer for perfect adhesion to carbon and aluminium alloy rims.
