Veloflex Record Folding Tire - Open Tubular - 25-622 | gum

The Veloflex Record folding tires are equipped with an innovative rubber compound, which provides not only a lower rolling resistance, but also an amazing grip. With the exceedingly soft 350 TPI corespun carcass, the Open Tubular tires are also excellent for use in time trials or track cycling. With the moreover low weight, Record tires meet the optimal conditions for competition as well as training.

Open Tubular. This manufacturing process combines the advantages of tubular and clincher tires together. They are manufactured as precisely as normal tubular tires, but without closing them at the bottom. This makes them more suitable for everyday use, as they can be fitted to the rim with a tube - just like normal folding tires - and a quick tube change is possible in the event of a puncture. The driving characteristics and the rolling behavior are extremely similar to those of tubular tires.

Handmade in Italy. All Open Tubular tires are developed with the same artisan process Veloflex uses for its tubular tires handmade in the laboratory. Veloflex stands for craftsmanship, tradition, expertise and constant research to create tires that offer exceptional performance.

Exclusive Compound | With its smooth profile, the innovative tread compound of natural rubber and silica forms the heart of the Veloflex tires. The compound not only ensures lower rolling resistance, but also exceptional road grip.

Corespun Casing | The soft yet flexible Corespun material of the carcass was developed to reduce the rolling resistance of the tire to a minimum.

SPS Sidewall Protection System | Further sidewall protection in the bead area of the tire to reinforce the contact between tire and rim, making the former suitable for all carbon rims available on the market, regardless of type or brand.

Kevlar® Beads | The beads made of ultra-light, non-stretch Kevlar® facilitating the installation in the rim and allowing a space-saving folding of the tire.
