Cava Race
Catalan Cava Tire
The Catalan Cava is the epitome of fine-tuned performance, designed for riders seeking the free speed of a high-volume slick while maintaining control in looser corners. Whether used as a pair or as a rear complement to the Rosé front tire, the Cava offers exceptional traction and ride quality.
Key Features:
- 3D Diamond File Tread: Optimized for granular terrain, providing 20-30% more traction compared to a traditional slick.
- High Volume Design: Slightly higher volume than the Rosé tire, maintaining consistent geometry when paired together.
- Race Compound: Engineered for superior grip in dry conditions, with enhanced resistance to tread slashes.
- Luxurious Casing: High TPI casing for a supple ride, much like the fine wines this tire is named after.
- Tubeless Compatible: Designed for lower pressures, offering a smooth, fast ride.
Notable Caution:
- No Sidewall Protection: Crafted for premium ride quality over durability, these tires are not recommended for aggressive riders or rugged terrain. Consider the Robusto for more protection.

Pressure Recommendations:
- 650b x 47.99mm: 25-35 psi
- 700c x 42mm: 30-40 psi
- 700c x 33mm: 50-55 psi

Weight:
- 650b x 47.99mm: 490g
- 700c x 42mm: 445g
- 700c x 33mm: 265g
- Aeronautic Design: Featuring a continuous center negative dark space for maximum speed.
700c x 33 Specifics
This is our take on a road-specific classics race tire—thin, light, and incredibly fast. It's designed for cobblestone and small gravel connectors, ideal for races in Flanders but not for rugged gravel rides.
- Max Tubeless Pressure: 60 psi (for tubeless setups); higher pressures require a tube, and we recommend using a latex tube for optimal performance.
