The Flying Doctor casing makes it possible that you don’t get the feeling that your tyre rolls off the rim, which allows you to take the curves faster with a low tyre pressure. The flying doctor casing also offers you a better protection against flats because of stones or glass and the casing is 15 g lighter as the normal cotton casing.

The Ori tyre is a tubeless tubular (a tubular without inner tube) that has been developed in cooperation with the Scott-Odlo team. The advantages of this casing are:

• The weight of the tyre is reduced by 55 g!
• The risk for flat tyres decreases. Inside the tubular we have treated the material with a special coating so that the casing doesn’t let the air go out. Before using, you also add a special latex mix that can close possible small holes.
• The Ori is more comfortable. Because you take out the inner tube, you get one layer less in the tubular and this results in a lower rolling resistance.

We have been testing quite a while with a neoprene coating for our tyres. This means that you don’t need to use Aquasure anymore. The coating is applied during the production process, so that you don’t need to calculate time to apply aquasure after gluing either. The coating is very thin and does not influence the functionality and / or the comfort of the tubulars. It is important that you do wash the tubulars after using (with water and/or soap – but no aggressive products) and let them dry in room temperature (about 20 degrees).
