Performance & Benefits
- Balanced road performance: Designed to provide a combination of speed, grip and durability rather than being an ultra-light racing tyre.
- Reliable puncture protection: The NyTech Breaker adds protection against punctures and cuts while retaining a relatively supple casing.
- Long-lasting grip: The PureGrip compound is designed for dependable traction and high mileage.
- 28mm comfort: The 28C width provides more cushioning and road contact than narrower 23C or 25C tyres.
- Easy handling: The folding bead makes the tyre easier to install and convenient for storage or carrying.
Compatibility
The Grand Sport Race 700 x 28C is a tube-type clincher tyre, so it requires a compatible inner tube. It is not tubeless-ready and is not intended for hookless rims.
Best Suited For
- Road cycling

- Endurance riding
- Daily road use
- Recreational cyclists
