TUFO Elite S3 Tubular Tire, 700c x 25

Light Tubular for Racing and Climbing

The Elite S3 is a lightweight road tubular for racing, time trials and hill climbs, built to a guaranteed weight.

Despite its low weight, it has very good puncture resistance and mileage. It's the upgraded successor to TUFO's best-selling S3 Lite, with an improved tread, a 210/375 TPI casing and a wider base tape for a supple ride and sharp handling. A Vectran puncture barrier under the tread adds protection and cornering stability. Whether you're racing or going for a climbing PR, it's a light, fast choice. Available in black or tan sidewalls. Tubulars are sewn-up tires that glue or tape onto a dedicated tubular rim, so check your wheels before you buy.

TUFO was founded in the Czech Republic in 1991 by former racer Miloslav Klabal, who built his first tubular in a garden shed. In 1993 TUFO patented the tubular clincher, and today it still makes its tires in its own factories in Otrokovice and Zlín.
