Our Catalan Cava is indeed a fine wine. A minimalist tire for those who want the free speed of a high volume slick, but need a tire that is more predictable in loose corners. Designed for use as a pair or as a rear complement to a Rosé front tire for added cornering and braking traction.
The 3D diamond tread pattern massages grainy terrain and provides noticeably 20-30% more traction than a slick.
-Slightly larger volume than the Rosé, with the same outer diameter and unchanged geometry in combination with the Rosé on the front axle.
-Racing compound for outstanding grip in dry conditions
-Less susceptible to tread slitting than a real slick
All of our high-end tires feature a luxurious, mysterious high TPI casing in a variety of shades, similar to the fine wines of their namesakes.
