While it is a tubeless-ready tyre, it can be used with tubes; however, it is optimized for tubeless systems to maximize its performance benefits.
Handmade construction allows for a more supple casing, which improves the tyre's ability to track over rough surfaces and provides better cornering feedback.
Yes, the SMART Soft compound is designed to perform in a wide range of cyclocross conditions, including dry and hardpack tracks.
For cyclocross racing, it is best practice to check your pressure before every ride, as small fluctuations significantly impact traction and rim safety.
Yes, the SuperPoly casing includes integrated puncture protection to balance strength and flexibility against course hazards.
Ensure the rim tape is properly installed and use a tubeless-specific booster pump or compressor to provide a quick burst of air.
Check that the tyre is properly seated and the sealant is compatible; if minor weeping occurs, the sealant will typically plug these micro-pores after a short ride.
Inspect the valve core for tightness and verify that the rim tape is not damaged or lifting at the spoke holes.
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your rims are tubeless-compatible and use high-quality tubeless tape and sealant. When mounting, ensure the bead is seated correctly around the full circumference of the rim. Because this is a handmade tyre, it is recommended to inflate it slowly and check for uniform alignment before bringing it to full pressure. For maintenance, periodically check your sealant levels, especially after intense race weekends or periods of disuse, to ensure the airtight seal remains intact. Keep the tyre clean of excessive chemical degreasers that might affect the SMART Soft rubber compound.
