We start from A Dugast Pipistrello, for compact and fast terrain, up to A Dugast Rhino for more challenging and muddy terrain.
Tubular and clincher
In the case of the tubular, the tread compound guarantees high durability and low rolling resistance. The neoprene lining ensures greater protection against water and mud. The middle layer is made made of 240 TPI cotton, which guarantees softness and comfort, as well as great resistance to puncture and better cornering at low pressures. The inner tube is made of latex, with a width of up to 32 mm.
The clincher has the same 2C/3C* compound as the tubular, with identical properties. Compared to the previous, the clincher is tubeless ready and has an additional layer which increases its protection capacitywith superior heel reinforcement against sharp edges.
The tubeless-ready models are available on the Vittoria website at a price of 89.95 euros, while the tubular versions start from 94.95 euros.
