The Dugast Pipistrello 33-28" Tubular tyre is engineered for cyclists who demand top performance on challenging terrains like deep sand and extremely fast hardpack surfaces. Featuring a distinctive semi-slick tread design with open diamond patterns, it delivers exceptional grip on sandy and grassy surfaces while maintaining remarkable stability during high-speed cornering. Its innovative side radius control lines enhance cutting ability on sand, allowing for confident handling in the most demanding racing conditions.
Constructed with a premium blend of 87.5% cotton and 12.5% Kevlar in the Flying Doctor casing, this tubular tyre balances lightweight agility with superior sidewall protection against sharp edges. The high 240 TPI cotton casing ensures excellent puncture resistance, elasticity, and reduced rolling resistance, making every ride smoother and more efficient. Additionally, a thin 0.1 mm neoprene silica coating protects the casing from moisture and mud without compromising comfort or performance.
The Monsoon 2C compound further enhances the tyre’s capabilities by providing a lower rolling resistance and increased grip, offering a comfortable and controlled riding experience even on the toughest cyclo-cross courses. Designed for rims with an inner width above 27 mm, the XL ribbon width ensures a perfect fit and optimum performance. Available in a striking tan color and size 700-33c, the Pipistrello is ideal for cyclists seeking a durable, high-performance option for cyclo-cross hardpack racing.
Is the Dugast Pipistrello suitable for wet or muddy conditions?
The neoprene silica coating helps protect the casing from moisture and mud, maintaining tyre durability and performance; however, the tread design is optimized for fast, hardpack surfaces rather than deep mud.
Can I use this tyre on any rim size?
The XL ribbon width is intended for rims with an inner width above 27 mm, ensuring optimal fit and performance. Using it on narrower rims is not recommended.
