Technology
EPS (Exceptional Puncture Safety) technology protection offers an added layer of proprietary rubberised polyfiber material between the tread and the casing. The tight weave of this lightweight, puncture-resistant layer prevents sharp objects from penetrating the casing and damaging the tube.
Level 1 Xpedium - APL technology puncture protection which APL features a respectable 0.7mm layer of rubber between the tread and the casing. This additional rubber layer assists in preventing penetration through the tyre.
Level 3 Xpedium - EPS (Exceptional Puncture Safety) technology protection offers an added layer of proprietary rubberised polyfiber material between the tread and the casing. The tight weave of this lightweight, puncture-resistant layer prevents sharp objects from penetrating the casing and damaging the tube.
Level 7 Xpedium - Double Breaker (Aramid Inside) construction for maximum puncture protection. The combination of aramid fibres and nylon with specially designed weave makes this type of anti-puncture protection unique. The anti-puncture protection is a 40% improvement on the universally rated EPS technology, while weighting 20% less and 5% faster.
Compound
