The Ultimate Blend of

Performance and Sustainability

DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF GRAVEL RIDING WITH TOUAREG GREEN

We are proud to be the French pioneer in tubeless tire technology and are pleased to introduce the Touareg Green, an eco-friendly version of the popular Touareg gravel tire

In development since 2019, the Touareg Green is the culmination of years of research aimed at creating a tyre that incorporates as much recycled and bio-sourced materials as possible without compromising on performance or affordability.

Our goal with the Touareg Green was not to produce a showcase tyre with a high percentage of eco-materials at the expense of performance or cost-effectiveness. Instead, our aim was to develop a practical, high-performance tyre that could stand alongside the other top-tier products in our lineup

 Preserving the quality of their bicycle tire was essential for us, while also substituting the ingredients to enhance its environmental sustainability.

DUAL GOALS : MAINTENING PERFORMANCE AND PRICE

We found that while possible, a tyre made of 99% ‘green’ materials today would sacrifice performance and increase costs, creating a tyre that would fail to meet their high standards and rider expectations. This however is a long-term goal for us.

Going about the development from the ground up, the brand has achieved the objectives set out through two newly developed compounds in the Touareg Green. The first is the new revea®R Casing, composed of 80% recycled or bio-sourced materials. Second is a revea®R Tread, specifically designed for the challenging demands of gravel riding, made from 55% recycled or bio-sourced materials.

THE RESULTING IMPACT : A STEP TOWARDS ECO-RESPONSIBILITY

The resulting tyres performance is on a par with the standard 700×40 Black Touareg, with the following significant improvements in sustainability:

The proportion of sustainable materials used throughout the tyre has risen to 57% from 15%

Compounds used in the tyre consist of 76% recycled or bio-sourced materials

The Carbon Black is entirely recycled and sourced from Europe

These claims have been verified using in-depth Life Cycle Analysis across the tyre’s entire production process. With each ingredient and process individually assessed for its environmental impact and a more sustainable alternative sought. Where possible these have been sourced locally.
