Apex FROM THE CAR TO THE BIKE
Successfully used in car tires for years , its transition for use in our bicycle tires was only a matter of time . Apex stabilises the tire in turns and is a technology that also makes sense for high-volume bicycle tires . A natural rubber profile , set between the carcass layers at the base of the tire . Stiffens the sidewalls , there by minimizing the twisting of the tire by the high transverse loads . Stiffer sidewalls that in turn , reduce the risk of punctures and impede the tire from slipping off the rim . Destined for Downhill , Gravity Enduro and Freeride . Low pressure , enhanced grip is made possible without becoming too slack in corners . The risk of punctures decreases significantly .
ProTection Apex CHALLENGES NEED TO BE MASTERED
The ProTection layer prevents cuts and punctures without any significant increase in weight . An extra Apex sidewall protects the tire from impact punctures even at low pressures . BlackChili Compound gives added grip .

ProTection THE ROUGH WAY
The extra all-round puncture protection layer renders the casings extremely durable and resistant to damage or penetration from foreign elements . Treads and sidewalls are equally protected , and are 25 % lighter and offer 30 % more puncture protection than their predecessors protected by DuraSkin ®. Rolling resistance and absorption has also significantly improved . The new Revolution Tubeless Ready Bead improves the installation of Tubeless Ready Tires . For tubeless sealing we recommend the use of Continental RevoSealant .
