Maxxis Velocita Tubular Tyre - 700 x 28mm - Black - MAXXSHIELD 120 TPI

Born from the cobbles of Roubaix, the Velocita is a high-volume racing tubular tire. A center diamond tread turns into a file tread on the edges of the Velocita for increased cornering control, while our MaxxShield material provides puncture protection under the sidewalls and tread.

Specifications

Tubular

A traditional tyre construction in which the tyre casing is sewn or wrapped around an inner tube. These types of tyres must be glued or taped onto tubular-specific rims.

Dual Compound

Two compounds used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip.

MaxxShield

MaxxShield represents the ultimate in flat protection. We begin with our SilkShieldbead-to-bead protection and add our K2

(Kevlar Composite) layer under the tread for unparalleled durability.

Threads Per Inch (TPI)

The number of threads that cross through one square inch of a single ply of the tyre's casing. Lower TPI gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier. Higher TPI conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tyre.

Maxxis TPI ratings are the threads-per-inch of a single casing ply, as compared to some competitor TPI ratings.
