Time trial specific tubular with Vectran protection

The new Podium TT (time trial) has been developed both by our craftsmen in Korbach, Germany and also by the professional cyclists of HTC, BMC & Omega Pharma-Lotto over the past two years.

Using their combined expertise, we've restructured the old 19mm Podium by minimising the amount of tread rubber to reduce weight (0.7mm), replacing it with a high-tech and very lightweight Vectran breaker underneath. Vectran is used in all our premium clincher and tubular models, and the Podium is now no exception!

Tougher than aramid, Vectran is a clear winner in strength to weight testing, ensuring rolling resistance on such a speed critical tyre such as the Podium is not compromised.

The Podium is the best choice for dedicated time triallists and triathletes.

The tyre will still withstand the rigoures of a full British club time trial programme, as has been tested by a select band of UK riders during 2009/10.
