With over 25 years of experience in the tire industry, Czech entrepreneur Miloslav Klabal founded his own company in Zlin in 1991: Tufo. From the outset, he worked closely with professional cyclists. His goal? To develop the best possible tubular tires. As the world's only manufacturer of tubular tires for clincher rims, Tufo has secured a firm place for itself in the tire market. Most of the production is done by hand, which is why Tufo tubulars score points with precise workmanship, natural materials and maximum quality.
The Advanced Technology Behind Tufo Tires
Tufo tires are known for their high-quality workmanship and innovative material technology. All models are highly puncture-resistant thanks to their CRCA-reinforced, two-layer rubber cord layer and overlapping carcass layers. These increase the TPI value and make the tires particularly resistant to punctures. Depending on the model, a mixture of silica, activated silica and carbon black also ensures optimal grip and durability on a wide variety of surfaces.
There are three different types of tires to choose from:
Tufo Tubular Tires
Tufo tubular tires are the lightest tires in the range and are characterized by minimal rolling resistance. Thanks to their innovative construction, they offer outstanding properties for ambitious cyclists:
- Minimal weight: By combining the tire and tube into a single unit, Tufo tubulars are super light.
- Minimal rolling resistance: The firm connection between the airtight inner layer made of special butyl rubber and the carcass reduces air loss and ensures stable and efficient running.
- Higher air pressure: Tufo tubular tires allow for a higher tire pressure than clincher tires, which improves acceleration and offers a more direct driving experience.
- Mounting with tape: With the special double-sided tape, the tire can be mounted quickly and without waiting – no glue, no long drying times.
Tufo Road Bike Tires
The Tufo road bike tire is a classic clincher tire, which is admittedly heavier than a tubular tire, but can be used immediately after mounting and can be maintained on the road. The reason for the increased weight is the heavier tube and the necessary rim tape, which also increase the rolling resistance. If you have a puncture, you can change or repair the tube. Mounting is done without glue.
Tufo Tubular Tires for Clincher Rims
The patented tubular tires for clincher rims combine the advantages of tubular and clincher tires. When inflated, they press into the direction of the rim, while the bead blocks anchor themselves in the rim shoulders, thus preventing twisting or loosening. This construction ensures a similarly low rolling resistance as with tubular tires. It also allows for quick, tool-free mounting without glue or rim tape.
