Road Bike Tyres Selection Guide

Folding tyres are flexible tyres, with low rolling resistance and relatively low weight. By using an inner tube, these tyres have slightly more weight and higher rolling resistance. This is because using an inner tube adds weight and creates friction with the outer tyre, increasing rolling resistance. Tubeless tyres are tyres for use without an inner tube. The absence of an inner tube means you enjoy the lowest rolling resistance and minimal weight. Thanks to the addition of Latex, a puncture is quickly resolved! Fitting tubeless tyres does require a bit more time and effort. (Note: for a tubeless setup, your rims should also be tubeless).
