ProTour Gum Sidewall Tubular Bicycle Tire
Description
The ProTour Black Sidewall tubular tire features an exceptionally soft 320 TPI Corespun casing and an innovative rubber compound designed to deliver minimal rolling resistance and superior grip on all road surfaces. Equipped with an anti-puncture protection belt and an exclusive latex inner tube, it offers outstanding elasticity and performance in all riding conditions.
Handmade in Italy
Each tubular is handcrafted through a 35-step artisanal process, starting from the raw materials and components — yarn, latex, rubber, glue, and valves. Every tire is individually made, with no two being exactly alike, representing the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship.
