Shimano Tubless Carbon Clincher...

[PPWTF]

Again from the Feb NAHBS show report...

 

 

Big steps forward - roadies going tubless (Hutchinson make the only tyre currently available, and Stans no tubes already lists it and makes a kit for it) and a full carbon option, just like the mountain bike offerings from Bontrager etc....

Paris-Roubaix Ultimate Test For Intensive Road Tubeless

http://www.bike-eu.com/public/Image/Bike%20Europe%20Website%20Products%20Hutchinson%20Paris-Roubaix%20234.jpgPARIS,

France ? This year?s Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic was the ultimate

test for Hutchinson?s second tyre in the Road Tubeless category. Aside

the already known 25 millimetre tube type version the 25 millimetre

Road Tubeless pendant is now available to the public.

The French Team La Fran?aise des Jeux decided to mount an Intensive

clincher version to avoid punctures on the wet cobblestones and rutted

roads. Team director Martial Gayant was absolutely committed to the

Intensive: ?We knew that this type of course poses a challenge to all

riders and their material and we?re glad to have chosen the perfect

tyre for this race?.

FDJ rider Wesley Sulzberger added: ?It?s amazing to not have any flat on a ride like this with this comfy tyre?.

?This was the culmination of six years of work on Road Tubeless?,

said Norbert Gangloff, responsible for product innovation and team

equipment relations at Hutchinson. ?The Intensive performed as

anticipated, the race highlighted the performance and comfort of the

Intensive Road Tubeless on the cobbles as well as on asphalt. That?s

why the Intensive is also great for urban cyclists who need a tyre to

brave the elements and last a long time.?
