The Tufo Comtura TR / UST models are the Tubeless Ready road tires for all those who don’t want to be bothered by inner tubes anymore. The tire is protected very well against flats by the Vectran puncture barrier under the tread area. Great ride comfort and excellent mileage make the Comtura 4 to the holy grail for every Tubeless fan.
Technologies of the Tufo Comtura 4 TR Vectran puncture barrier This most effective anti-puncture system is placed directly under the tread area. A core of the anti-puncture system is made from Vectran – liquid crystal polymer (LCP) fibers which are five times stronger than steel. Vectran offers also outstanding cut resistance and high impact resistance at a low weight – highly demanding properties for high-end bicycle tires. It not only provides the best possible puncture protection but also ensures cornering and stability.
SPC silicia compound Tufo uses this high performance road racing tread compound in the majority of their road tires. With 66 Shore A hardness this well-balanced blend of synthetic and natural rubbers with Activated Silica filler provide excellent wet grip and low rolling resistance.
Protective rubber ply An additional layer located underneath the tread indicating tire wear and so the possibility of punctures when showing through.
Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Installation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
