TUFO tire technologies

One of the most important elements of TUFO tires is their proprietary rubber compounds. The manufacturer uses different variants depending on the intended use:

• SPC Silica – perfect balance between grip and rolling resistance (road)
• LPS Silica – even lower resistance and excellent behavior at low temperatures
• Oil Silica – increased traction in MTB and marathons
• Carbon Black – durability and wear resistance

Thanks to the use of silica and an advanced mixing process, tires offer better grip on wet surfaces and lower rolling resistance.

 In practice: you go faster, you have more control and the tire wears out slower.

TUFO places a strong emphasis on puncture resistance. Their tires offer various levels of protection:

• Puncture Barrier Standard – additional layer under the tread
• Vectran™ Barrier – material 5x stronger than steel
• Kevlar® Protection – flexible but very durable protection

These technologies significantly reduce the risk of flat tires, even in difficult terrain.

In practice: less downtime, more confidence on gravel and MTB.

Modern TUFO tires feature an advanced layered construction:

• Carcass (braid) – is responsible for the shape and driving characteristics
• Tread – contact with the surface
• Protective layers – protection and durability
• Bead (footer) – stability on the rim

In tubeless systems, special aramid feetwhich improve safety and tire retention on the rim.

In practice: better handling and greater stability at high speeds.

TUFO tubeless tires (TR) combine the advantages of several systems:

• lower rolling resistance
• possibility of driving at lower pressure
• greater grip
• lower risk of puncture (thanks to the sealant)

No wonder this solution is standard in the professional peloton today.

In practice: more comfort and control, especially on gravel and MTB.

TUFO is famous for its tubular tires, which are still the choice of many pros:

• very low weight
• minimal rolling resistance
• high level of safety (does not fall off the rim after puncture)

Thanks to its special design, you can even continue driving after losing pressure.

In practice: maximum performance and safety in racing.

TUFO also develops more niche but advanced solutions:

• Grip Silica Compound – maximum grip
• Liquid Rubber Compound – lower energy losses
• Sidewall Protection – additional side protection
• Tubeless compound (airtight) – maintaining pressure without inner tubes

It is these details that often determine the advantage on the route.
