Vectran™Breaker PUNCTURE PROTECTION AT IT ‘ S BEST
Vectran™ is spun from liquid crystal-polymer . This way a thermoplastic , multiple-thread yarn is created . As a comparison : This partially crystalline fabric is more cut-resistant than aramide and its tensile strength is five times higher than that of steel . A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter , more flexible and effective against cuts than a comparable nylon breaker . Without effecting rolling resistance .
NyTech Breaker LIGHT AND SLEEK
The Nytech Breaker is based on the technology of our SafetySystem puncture protection . Made of nylon fibre and similar to Kevlar , it reliably protects against punctures and cuts . It also has particularly low rolling resistance and reduced weight , perfect for our performance range of road tires .
PolyX Breaker™ CUT AND PUNCTURE PROOF
Supersonic ACCELERATION THE EASY WAY
With PolyX Breaker™ car expertise comes to the bicycle tire sector . Polyester has been used successfully for years in car tires and has proved extremely effective . The extremely resistant polyester fibre is woven tightly crosswise . A very high fabric density is achieved which makes the breaker resistant not only to foreign bodies , but especially to punctures . The rolling resistance is not affected by this breaker .
Low weight and maximum acceleration distinguishes this technology . Time trial specialists and track racers alike profit from its first-rate rolling characteristics .
