The ultimate racing clincher. Vredestein's exclusive double-overlapping casing gives a supple ride with excellent cornering feel, without feeling harsh at the recommended 145psi. Orange .

• CURVE CONTROL SYSTEM (CCS)
• The Curve Control System's intent is to control the shape and form of the tread, regardless of the inflation or deflections upon the casing. In other brands, as the tyre inflates, the tread takes on the form of the casing. Typically this creates an oblong design that will give the very real sensation of falling off the shoulder as one leans into a corner. This is further exacerbated by a relatively non-active casing design.With the Vredestein CCS, the tread is formed independently of the casing and created such that as it rolls over into a corner, the transition is smooth, even and predictable--a perfect radius effect.
• SILICA ENERGY COMPOUND (SEC)
• The Silica Energy Compound is a proprietary Vredestein compound. This process, which Vredestein pioneered, utilizes silica (sand) as the basic tenant in conjunction with other chemicals. When correctly used in conjunction with and in place of carbon, the typical hardening agent, the SEC reduces tread wear, increases adhesion and reduces rolling resistance.
