The Small Bird tread can be used on a course where the layer on top of the course is slippery. The 3c compound gives the tyre its excellent capacities. The outer studs are twice as high as the studs in the middle. This and the extremely soft rubber mix of the outer studs give an extreme grip in the turns. Because of the lower studs in the middle the rolling resistance is very limited. This tyre is the perfect mix between a Rhino and a Typhoon.The 100% cotton casing with high TPI (thread-per-inch) offers excellent puncture resistance, elasticity, rolling resistance and handling in corners.Neoprene is a 0.1 mm-thick protection silica coating applied to the casing to extend the lifetime by preventing the tyre casing to absorb humidity and mud. The coating does not affect the tyre functionality and comfort.The Large Base Tape is for rims with inner width below 27 mm Triple compound provides grip and durability for allround useReduced rolling resistance thanks to the low-profile center ridgeEnhanced grip thanks to the pronounced side knobsFeatures:Material: Cotton 240 TPI + NeopreneCompound: 3CDiscipline: Cyclo Cross - The perfect all-round choice for mixed conditionsConstruction: TubularRibbon Width: L up to 27mm rim widthColour: TanSize : 700-33cETRTO: 33-622Weight: 390g
