S-Works Terra Tubular

Not primarily. This tire is specifically engineered for muddy conditions, featuring a tread pattern and compound optimized for traction in soft, wet terrain. For hard-packed courses, you would be better served by a tire with a lower-profile tread.

The GRIPTON compound is formulated to remain soft and supple even when temperatures drop. This ensures the tire maintains its grip and conforms to the terrain rather than hardening, which can cause a loss of traction on frozen or cold ground.

The high 290 TPI (threads per inch) casing makes the tire more supple and flexible. This allows the tire to deform more easily over obstacles and rough ground, resulting in a smoother ride and better contact with the surface.

No, this is a tubular tire, which requires a specific tubular rim. It must be glued or taped onto the rim bed, so it is not compatible with standard clincher or tubeless-ready clincher wheels.

Latex tubes are thinner and more flexible than standard butyl rubber tubes. This reduces rolling resistance and improves the tire's ability to conform to the ground, which enhances both speed and grip.
