With its smooth blend of speed, grip and durability, the new Race GC tubeless tire is everything a rider could ask for in a high-performance road tire. A super-supple casing uses fewer layers than the previous generation to better absorb road imperfections while also improving rolling efficiency.

SPEED BOOST

A re-engineered 240 TPI Supple Race Casing absorbs road imperfections and increases rolling efficiency. Using fewer casing layers reduces friction with road surfaces, resulting in an 18 percent decrease in rolling resistance compared to the previous model. The next generation Race GC also uses the proven RR-S Compound for speed and grip

LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE

A reduction in casing layers results in a durable 279-gram tire that’s also protected by Race Shield cut-resistant Kevlar® material to resist punctures without compromising speed or road feel.

COMPLETE CONTROL

An improved Supple Race Casing means less tire deflection for better handling on rough surfaces. A redesigned tire profile with shallower sidewalls and protruded shoulders at the edges enhances stability when cornering and sprinting. And a slick center tread with a redesigned micro-profile tread on the shoulders improves speed without sacrificing grip.

Technologies

Race Shield Puncture Protection

With an exclusive ultra-lightweight and cut-resistant Kevlar® material incorporated into the casing, Race Shield provides superior puncture protection without compromising speed or road feel.

RR-S Compound

A state of the art silica-based tire compound for elite riders who demand ultimate speed and grip. Compared to a standard road tire compound, RR-S has significantly less rolling resistance and boasts markedly increased grip when cornering, especially in the wet.

240 TPI Supple Race Casing

240TPI Supple Race Casing strategically places layers only where needed, ensuring an exceptionally supple and comfortable ride. This design optimizes rolling efficiency, all while maintaining an impressively low weight.
