High Road HYPR K2/TR Tire

HYPR Compound is a specialized rubber material used in high-performance tires that reduces rolling resistance, allowing for easier pedaling. It also enhances wet traction, providing better grip on slippery roads. This means you can ride faster and more confidently, especially in challenging weather conditions.

TPI indicates the number of threads in a one-inch section of the tire casing. A higher TPI, like 170, means the tire is lighter and more flexible, which improves ride quality and performance. This balance of durability and weight is crucial for serious cyclists looking to enhance their riding experience.

Tubeless Ready tires can be mounted directly onto compatible rims without an inner tube, using a special sealant instead. This setup reduces the risk of punctures and allows for lower air pressure, improving traction and comfort. It's a popular choice for cyclists who want to maximize performance and minimize flat tires.

Tires with a folding bead are designed to be lightweight and can be easily folded for convenient storage and transport. This feature is especially beneficial for cyclists who travel with their gear, as it saves space and makes handling easier without compromising performance.

Puncture protection refers to additional layers or materials built into the tire to resist sharp objects like nails or glass. For competitive cyclists, having reliable puncture protection is essential, as it helps prevent flats during rides or races, ensuring you can finish without interruptions.

The combination of HYPR Compound, high TPI, tubeless readiness, folding beads, and puncture protection all contribute to a tire that is lighter, more efficient, and more reliable. These features work together to improve speed, comfort, and safety, making them ideal for serious cyclists who want to elevate their riding experience.
