Confidence at speed

The cobbles of Paris-Roubaix were the inspiration for the R4 Classics tire. Confident traction and a fast-rolling yet grippy tread give this handmade road tire uncompromising performance and road feel, and Hard-Case Lite with polyamide synthetic fiber reinforcement adds puncture protection and durability.

Product details

  1. Fast-rolling road race tire for when traction and confidence matter most
  2. High grip tread and compound performs in wet and dry conditions
  3. Super supple polyamide synthetic fiber reinforcement provides added casing strength
  4. Hard-Case Lite protects against punctures with lightweight, sub-tread material
  5. Super supple 320TPI casing rolls fast with great ride feel
  6. Clincher tire made using the same handmade process as tubulars to maintain suppleness and ride quality
  7. Chamfer reinforcement layer adds protection at tire's sidewall right up to the tire bead
