Why choose this tire?
With PolyX Breaker™, automotive expertise is brought to the bicycle tire industry. Polyester has been used successfully in car tires for years and has proven extremely effective. The highly resistant polyester fiber is tightly woven widthwise. This results in a very high fabric density, making the interlayer resistant not only to foreign objects but, more importantly, to punctures. Rolling resistance is not affected by this interlayer.
Tires with DuraSkin® sidewall protection can take a beating because they're designed for the toughest conditions. On the rough terrain of cyclocross or gravel bikes, on everyday bikes where tires rub against curbs, on touring bikes crossing continents and encountering roads of varying quality, and on race circuits where they prove their worth in endurance events like Paris-Roubaix. The high-quality polyamide fabric reliably protects the tire sidewall. Tires equipped with DuraSkin® are recognizable by their distinctive brown mesh sidewall*.
