The Small Bird tread can be used on a course where the layer on top of the course is slippery. The duo compound gives the tire 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 tire is the perfect mix between a Rhino and a Typhoon.
The 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 tire casing to absorb humidity and mud. The coating does not affect the tire functionality and comfort.
The size of the tire is guaranteed at the recommended pressure, on the corresponding rim size.
The tubeless-ready (TLR) tires from the Vittoria A Dugast Series are designed for rims with a 21mm internal width. This rim size is the maximum that ensures compliance with UCI tire width regulations.
