Road test

Mounting the clincher RS has no special difficulties, we were astonished by the fact that the actual weight is less than that, since we've checked the weight again, but the response was always the same. The nylon carcass with 120 TPI and the central part of the semi-slick clincher providing a maximum smoothness, especially at maximum inflation pressure. Even the light weight contributes to the excellent performance of the product and appreciate especially in raises, out of the corners, where the clincher best expresses its qualities. The cornering grip is always good security and good feeling that transmits helps prevent any loss of grip. In the wet, of course, the performance decrease compared to a specific product, while the behaviour is aligned with other similar products, so much attention and, if possible, better to reduce a bit 'inflation pressure for a more secure grip, even in expense of performance. On the uneven behaviour is good for the category. But more than that for the comfort DedaTre RS is appreciated for its high fluidity and low weight in features that enable high performance fast and demanding, where there are constant changes in speed and raises. The clincher, as proof of its quality, is also used by some professional teams. It 'an ideal product for the discerning connoisseur, looking at performance as well as for the athlete. For those who prefer the comfort, however, you should steer completely different to other products, with carcass in cotton and high number of TPI. The recommended retail price of 21 Euro is aligned to its competitors and the quality of the product, excellent if you look at the performance.
