The Tufo Calibra Lite is a lightweight tyre designed for Time Trial use & racing when dry & on good smooth road surfaces. In spite of super low weight, this tyre has good puncture resistance & the slick tread contributes to low rolling resistance.
The Tufo Calibra is an all-round racing or training tyre and features a fine tread pattern and puncture proof ply. Together with activated silica tread compound, the Calibra provides excellent grip on wet or dry roads.
How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.
The S3 Lite is Tufo' best selling road racing tubular and features unique properties making it a great choice for racing on. High inflation pressure and minimal rolling resistance are just two factors that make this tub their most popular.
This tub is also available in three colours.
The Tufo S3 Pro is the ideal track training tyre and provides excellent traction on all types of surfaces, very high pressures for ultra low rolling resistance and good mileage
Please Note: This tyre is listed as a clincher tyre, but it is a specific tyre of tyre that brings you the benefits of a tubular tyre, that is only compatible with clincher type rims. It is called a "tubular clincher" type tyre and cannot be used on tubular rims. The thinner tread of this road bike tyre also lowers rolling resistance while the tyre is maintaining ideal shock absorption properties and high puncture resistance.

Tufo Tubular Rim TapeDesigned for attaching Tufo tubular tyres on carbon or aluminium alloy rims, this double-sided Tubular Rim Tape is an incredible time-saver. This tape is very different from all the similar products on the market. It has never been easier and faster to glue a tubular tyre. No waiting time for the glue to dry, the activated surface of the gluing tape facilitates perfect adhesion of a tubular to a rim after a few meters of riding.This gluing tape has been developed for use with TUFO tubular road tyres. If used with other tubular tyre brands, the gluing tape might not function properly.Features:Gluing tape for tubular road tyresSuitable for carbon and alloy rimsNo messy glue on rims, tubular or hands, no harmful vapoursRemovable red backing strip makes centring of a tubular very easyTape width: 19mmBuy Tufo Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Tufo C Hi Composite Carbon Road TyreThe application of composite puncture proof ply and high composite carbon tread compound on this Tufo Tubular Road Tyre is proof that it is possible to use a thinner tread and still maintain high mileage. Thinner tread reduces rolling resistance, but the C Hi maintains ideal shock absorption properties and high puncture resistance.Featuring Tufo's unique patented Tubular Clincher construction, there is no extra investment in switching from clincher tyres to tubular clincher tyres because you can use the same Clincher rim. Riding properties are equal to those of tubular tyres.How does the Tufo Tubular Clincher work?When inflated, the tubular clincher, in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. The bottom profiled bead band does not function only as a filling in the area between the rim and the tubular clincher but also plays an active role. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band sides literally “bite” into the rim shoulders.
