Torchbearer
The Torchbearer offers versatile performance in a variety of road conditions. Our progressive tread design provides excellent grip and handling to support your town-line sprint while providing low rolling resistance for long days in the saddle.
The Torchbearer is available in both Tubeless Ready and tube-type constructions. The Tubeless Ready version utilizes Stage 4S Armor construction which combines three separate components of flat protection including a 120 TPI skin, a lightweight Nylon105 belt and our anti-cut deflecting skin to boost confidence and durability on long rides and in any weather. The tube type version uses a Stage 4 Armor construction which combines two separate components of flat protection including a lightweight puncture resistant Nylon105 belt and our anti-cut deflecting skin to boost confidence and durability on long rides and in any weather. And the 120 TPI casing in both versions reduces road vibration for long distance comfort over rougher terrain
This tire is designed for hook-bead (crochet) rims that follow current E.T.R.T.O. standards. This tire is not intended for use with hookless rims.
