Level 7 goes further than you ever thought possible. We combine the anti-puncture layers of Level 5 and in doing so create the best possible puncture protection available in the world of tires. The thinly woven EPS layer is applied under a 3 mm LDP layer. This in itself is fantastic puncture protection technology. Just think about what this can off er when combined.
Two layers for twice the protection. Twofold anti-puncture, for twice as much protection. The thinly woven EPS layer is suported by a 1 mm rubber layer.
The combination of aramid fi bres and nylon with specially designed weave makes this type of antipuncture protection unique. The anti-puncture protection is a 40% improvement on the universally rated EPS technology, while weighing 20% less and 5% faster!
LDP consists of an extra-thick 3mm layer of rubber between the tread and the casing. Since the rubber has a strong rebound characteristic, debris is more likely to exit the tire than continue through and cause damage.
EPS from wire to wire (BtB). This also makes the sidewalls of the tire extra protected
Exceptional Puncture Safety off ers an added layer of proprietary rubberized polyfi ber material between the tread and the casing. The tight weave of this lightweight, puncture-resistant layer prevents foreign objects from penetrating the casing and damaging the tube.
Even in sports tires require protection. For these tires we optimized our EPS layer in to an even thinner layer. This keeps the tire lightweight and as a riders you won’t notice the diff erence.
Kevlar® Inside incorporates Kevlar® fi bers into a 1.5mm layer of natural rubber between the tread and the casing. These fi bers resist cuts and tears from road debris, while the extra rubber keeps sharp objects from traveling through to penetrate the tire.
The more threads per inch (TPI) a carcass has, the fi rmer and more puncture proof a tire will be. A normal carcass has 22 to 32 threads per inch. In our Anti-puncture Level 2 that’s upgraded to 60 tpi.
APL Anti-Puncture features a respectable 0.7mm layer of rubber between the tread and the casing. This additional rubber layer assists in preventing penetration of the tire.
