Conservative road professional or high-tech athlete?
It is the most reliable of all the tyres in the professional
peloton and has proven itself time and time again on the
world race circuit, often accompanying prominent cyclists
on their way to victory. We are proud of our Competition.
That’s why we always try to keep him on the road to victory.
The Competition was the fi rst tyre to feature Black Chili
compound Vectran anti-puncture breakers.
The Challenger.
The all new Grand Prix 4000 Tubular may be missing the
aura of the old champion, but the challenger is enticing
professional cyclists with its new technology. A seamless
casing design improves the rim seating, uniformity and
rolling resistance. The name, the dynamic tread design
of the Grand Prix 4000 and of course a Vectran puncture
protection breaker state the high ambitions of this new tyre.
Naturally, both competitors enter the race with the innovative
Black Chili tread mixture. What will you fi t to your
carbon road wheels?
The specialist for circuit races or the criterium.
Its function is in its name. The Sprinter is a fast tyre for the
shorter road events like criteriums. With a nylon puncture
protection breaker it is now even more reliable without
losing its terrifi c rolling qualities. Its fl exible casing and the
extremely adhesive Black Chili compound keeps contact
with the road even in fast 90° bends. With its low weight
and good acceleration it is most defi nitely the fastest tyre
in the last 400 metres.
The fast endurance runner.
Inheriting the best qualities of the highly popular Ultra
GatorSkin road tyre, namely the durable carbon black
tread mixture, the effective puncture protection breaker
layer and the DuraSkin anti-cut fabric. The Sprinter
GatorSkin itself features the typically comfortable and light
feel of a tubular tyre. The professional riders use a similar
combination in their tyres for Paris – Roubaix and other
equipment destroying classics in the springtime. If you
want to ‘get the miles in’, but your streets aren’t covered
with the fi nest tarmac and you prefer the inconspicuous
function of your tyres, then this is your tubular.
