Description
We say:
We build a lot of bikes with big clearance, but these same bikes sometimes get used for smoother faster riding as well as the rough rough stuff. A 48mm is often lost in a bike that can clear a 2.3, the Cava 55 is the answer, the smoothest tyre in the known universe!Â
They say:
 Our Catalan Cava is a fine wine indeed. A minimalist tire for those who want the free speed of a high volume slick but need a tire that is more predictable in looser corners.  Designed to be used as a pair, or as the rear compliment to a Rosé front tire for extra cornering and braking traction. Â
-3D diamond file tread massages granular terrain for perceivably 20-30% more traction than a slick Â
-Slightly higher volume than the Rosé, giving it the same effective outside diameter, leaving geometry unchanged when pairing with Rosé up front. Â
-High carbon brevet compound for longer (normal) tread wear
-Less susceptible to tread slashes than a true slickÂ
-Robusto sidewall protection for getting rowdy on the one-track, touring and the rambunctious, rugged chunk guzzler.
-High TPI mystery casing underneath that Robusto, BTW
-Robusto means you can ride CERTIFICATION free.
-Leak free sidewallsÂ
-Designed to be inflated/deflated to tastefully low pressures: 25-35 psi (650b); 30-40psi (700c)
-Tubeless compatible
-Continuous center negative dark space aeronautic deltas for pure intoxicating SPEED
-Tires packaged and sold individually
