"Don't be afraid of the puncture demon!

A compact, highly elastic rubber breaker makes the Touring Plus extremely resistant. Stones, glass splinters and thorns have no chance. Whatever you ride over will find it virtually impossible to pierce the thick Security Breaker band under the tread.

The layer strength of the breaker is adapted to the rolling movement of the tyre. The Touring Plus Reflex remains very comfortable in spite of its protective coating and rolls and steers very lightly. Intended for high mileage winter training for serious cyclists, or the ultimate puncture-protection for the commute to work.

• Extremely tough puncture-proof layer is virtually impenetrable to stones, glass & thorns
• For those riders whose top concern is puncture protection
• High grade silica tread compound for high mileage and improved adhesion under all conditions"

"Sprinter - The specialist for circuit races or the criterium !

Its function is in its name. The Sprinter is a fast tyre for the shorter road events like criteriums. With a nylon puncture protection breaker it is now even more reliable without losing its terrific rolling qualities. Its flexible casing and the extremely adhesive Black Chili Compound keeps contact with the road even in fast 90° bends.

With its low weight and good acceleration it is most definitely the fastest tyre in the last 400 metres.
