Product news: The demands on gravel bikes are constantly increasing. It is logical that the components of the gravel bikes have to be constantly improved in order to meet these demands. This also applies to the topic of tyres, because next to the frame, hardly any other feature influences the driving experience and performance as much as the right tyre. With the Specialized Rhombus Pro, the US manufacturer offers a gravel tire with an aggressive profile for demanding riders.
Gravel bikes are becoming more powerful and we're already riding them harder than we ever expected. In order for a gravel bike to be really fun off-road or on rough trails, you need the right tires to be able to cope with these challenges. Because the tires are the most important component next to the frame when it comes to performance. Thus, the versatility of a gravel bike depends heavily on its tire configuration.
With the new Specialized Rhombus Pro, the US manufacturer is now bringing a tire for more extreme gravel riders. The focus should be on traction, control and predictable handling. The sharp and narrow center lugs ensure optimal traction, the robust side lugs allow aggressive cornering and should offer the best grip. The open transition zone should ensure good self-cleaning of the Rhombus Pro. The non-slip tread profile with the Gripton rubber compound, which has already proven itself in various Specialized tires, should work on any terrain and in a wide variety of conditions. The cut-resistant Endurant carcass is designed to provide the puncture resistance that is essential when gravelling. The new Specialized Rhombus Pro gravel tire is available in 700c and 42mm or 47mm. The price is 49.90 euros
