What may be a stand out in the clinchers is their value.We didnвЂ™t get finite pricing on the clinchers from Tufo, but the base tire is available online now for ~в‚¬30, with the higher end tires ~в‚¬50. As of yet, the tire hasnвЂ™t shown excessive wear, but we will report more on that when we get more time on the tires. The rubber compound is quite sticky making for excellent traction, and the lightweight paired with a set of latex tubes has been nice change for a few long distance and big elevation rides. WeвЂ™ve been riding a first run sample of this tire since the early spring and can report that it has performed excellently so far. The lightest Calibra Lite keeps the anti-puncture ply under a slick tread and guarantees a weight less than 150g for the 23mm offering.

The mid-level Calibra Plus goes with the fasterВ smooth center/hatched shoulder tread of the S3, and drops the sidewall protection for a claimed 180g 23mm tire. The heaviest basic model is claimed at 205g for a 23mm (220g for 25mm) with bead-to-bead sidewall and puncture protection, plus the tread off the Elite Ride (see below). In the end Tufo came up with a single road race tire family вЂ“ the Calibra вЂ“ with three different versions. The move to produce clincher road tires was partly about simple product diversification, but also a bit of curiosity of how the unique Tufo was of building tires in central Europe would translate into high level clinchers. This season Tufo has also added several new road tires to their line-up, which can be generally broken down into a completely new foray into clinchers, and a couple ofВ new lightweight tubulars. Tufo also had a good bit of new information on road tires, which account for most of their sales, so roll past the break for their new clinchers, specified weight road tires, and some rumors of growthвЂ¦ WeвЂ™ve been promised a set in the coming months, and will be be very interested to see how they perform in the lead up to Cross Worlds in the Czech Republic this winter. It actually looks to borrow the fast rolling, arrow shaped center tread from their old, well-regarded Elite cross tire line from a decade ago, while combining with the more aggressive side knobs of their more recent designs. The Primus name carries over from the prior model, but the tread pattern is a reboot of their all-conditions cyclocross tire.
