Prime Time
Inspired by cyclists sprinting for ‘primes’ (pronounced ‘preems’) in criterium races, LifeLine prime race tyres are designed for high speeds, tight bends and the pursuit of victory.
The slick centre tread keeps straight line rolling resistance to an absolute minimum while a channeled pattern in the shoulders provides increased grip in the corners and helps to shift surface water in poor conditions. The 60a durometer compound offers excellent traction for confidence on twisty descents and hairpin turns.
Case Closed
The 120TPI (threads per inch) casing provides increased strength and flexibility while reducing weight. This allows the tyre to withstand the high pressures needed for racing, and the reduced rotational mass offers faster acceleration and agile handling.
A tough and lightweight Kevlar breaker sits beneath the tread to guard against sharp road debris, helping prevent punctures and keeping you out on the roads for longer. The aramid folding beads provide a secure interface with the rim whilst also allowing easy installation.
23mm or 25mm?
LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyres are available in 23mm and 25mm options so you can choose between the feedback and precision of 23s, or the more cushioned and stable feel of 25s. Custom colours are also available to match with your kit theme.
These tyres are for racing style bikes that use clincher/hooked rims, these are the most common fitment and hook onto the rim and require an inner tube. There is a wide choice of tyres within this category and the right choice is important. Lighter tyres will accelerate quickly, but will be more prone to punctures so getting a balance is extremely important. If you require a tyre for all round use look for something with puncture protection, an average TPI(Threads Per Inch) and average weight. If you require a fast tyre and speed is the only thing that matters look for a low weight folding tyre with high TPI. If durability is your priority and speed is not so important look towards the puncture resistant tyres and consider going for a wider tyre, these will be less prone to punctures and offer a bit more comfort. For wet road conditions a triple compound or winter tyre is a good choice, these use a softer compound on the cornering surface to maximise grip.
