The Protocol RCG-3 Gravel Tire delivers robust flat protection without sacrificing speed on harsh, unpredictable terrain. Designed for Category 3 gravel events like Unbound, Big Sugar, and The Rift, it pairs fast XC mountain bike characteristics with supple road tire casing concepts.
Built around the Pulsar casing with a SealSkin protection layer, the tire includes an under-tread puncture breaker to resist impacts while keeping rolling resistance low. Tightly spaced center knobs grow larger and taller toward the sides to improve contact and cornering stability.
