Radial casing for an unparalleled ride quality
The Radiale is a new marvel in bicycle tire technology. Using a true radial casing, the Radiale produces a soft, supple ride, smoothing out the roughest roads. A radial casing allows the sidewall to easily bend and flex, resulting in less hysteresis losses than a standard clincher which stretches or compresses at the contact patch. This technology is designed to produce the supplest ride of any clincher tire. In addition to the radial casing the tire also utilizes Maxxis' 3C Triple Compound Technology for greater wear life and cornering control along with silkshield puncture protection from bead to bead. All of the same technology found in the Radiale-22c with additional tread added to the sidewall to increase traction in cornering. The added siping makes the Radiale perfect for criterium racing and standard road racing in wet conditions.
Silkshield SilkShield offers protection from bead to bead whereas Silkworm is found under the tread only. SilkShield provides an additional level of protection for sidewalls as well as under the tread.
3C Triple Compound road technology utilizes three distinct silica compounds in different locations within the tread of the tire. The center compound is optimized for exceptional treadwear and low rolling resistance. The progressively softer shoulder compounds provide increased grip while cornering. Choose a Triple Compound Maxxis road tire for the ultimate in tire handling in all conditions.
