SILCA Protocol RCG-3 Gravel Tire - 32 x 2.4" (61-686), Tubeless

The SILCA Protocol RCG-3 is built for Category 3 gravel: harsh, unpredictable courses like Unbound, Big Sugar and The Rift. It adds flat protection without the rolling penalty of typical heavy-duty gravel tires. SILCA took the traits of fast XC mountain bike tires and paired them with a road-style race casing tuned for slightly higher pressures to resist pinch flats. The tread is a moderate pattern of tightly spaced, elongated center knobs that grow larger and taller toward the shoulders, for confident cornering grip. Protection comes from an under-tread puncture breaker plus a SealSkin layer, on a 120 TPI casing with SILCA's fastest Pulsar compound. CarbonBead BeadLock uses carbon fiber beads that will not stretch or creep, keeping a secure rim fit for life. This version fits 32-inch wheels, which roll over rough terrain more efficiently than 700c. This listing is the 32 x 2.4" (61-686) size: claimed weight 710g, recommended minimum sealant 135 ml of SILCA Ultimate Sealant. Do not install with a tire lever, which can damage the carbon bead.
