Tufo C S3 Lite Tubular ClincherThe Tufo C S3 Lite tubular clincher is designed for races where low rolling resistance is top priority. Minimizing road friction is key to high performance in long distance races, and the Tufo C S3 Lite delivers minimal friction and tubular quality ride without the hassle of traditional tubulars. Multi-layer puncture protection ensures reliability, the different colored top tread also serves as the tire's wear indicator. The C S3's light weight makes it ideal for long courses and difficult climbs, the perfect tire for the stage racer or triathlete.
Tubular tires offer excellent ride quality, can be ridden with a much broader range of air pressure (offering more options for traction in changing conditions), and are not subject to pinch flats. Previously, this experience was reserved for those who meticulously stretched and glued tires to their tubular specific rims. The Tufo C series created a tire with the benefits of a tubular that can be mounted on a clincher rim without special tools or messy glue. Separate tubes are not necessary when using tubular clinchers, as the tube is already sewn into the tire.
Valve stems on Tufo tires are approximately 32mm, many wheels require longer valves. Tufo Valve extenders are available for those with deep section rims.
