Tufo Tubular Tyre Elite
Guaranteed specified weight
Excellent traction on all track surfaces. Sufficient mileage for intensive racing. Suitable for all track disciplines.
Used by majority of competitive cyclists. Tubular tyre is the lightest one from all the tyre types and has the lowest rolling resistance. For a ride with feeling of lightness and great acceleration in critical moments.
● 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
A: Tread
produced either with rubber compound of activated silica, silica or carbon black (specified for each model).
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: Puncture proof ply
made of rubber cord composite strengthened with CRCA.
D: The carcass
plies are overlapped and joined underneath the thread, creating increased TPI (threads per inch) value and better tyre puncture resistance.
E:The carcass
consists of two layers of rubber cord composite with reverse bearing cord orientation in each layer, joined and strengthened with CRCA. The carcass TPI varies from 60 to 210 for different tyre models.
F: 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.
G: The base tape
is made of cotton. It absorbs the glue evenly, resulting in optimal bond between the rim and the tyre.
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.
Carbon Black
A durable tread compound that has proven its quality for years. This standard compound with a high content of Carbon black guarantees 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 decreases vibrations. In all models.

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.
NAN Silica
This is an indoor wooden track specific compound for extra speed, grip and quick handling. Not suitable for wet conditions.
VECTRAN PUNCTURE BARRIER
This most effective anti-puncture system is placed directly under the tread area. A core of the anti-puncture system is made from VECTRAN – liquid crystal polymer (LCP) fibres which are five times stronger than steel. VECTRAN offers also outstanding cut resistance and high impact resistance at a low weight – highly demanding properties for high-end bicycle tyres. VECTRAN PUNCTURE BARRIER not only provides the best possible puncture protection but also ensures cornering and stability.
