Brand new Continental Competition Pro LTD – ALX RS Profile “pre-glued” tubular tire.

This particular tubular tire is the extremely rare Pro Limited version. This is a special version only supplied to sponsored pro teams, and they usually are not available in public cycling stores. This edition is the ALX RS Profile with a slick center tread that minimizes the rolling resistance but keeps the standard competition diamond thread. Pro Limited is considered the holy grail of tubular tires, and even teams who are not sponsored by Continental sometimes use them in an unbranded version for the most important races.

The main difference between the regular competition tubular and the Pro LTD is that this tubular features a latex inner-tube, making the tire even lighter and improving grip and puncture resistance.

This ALX edition is the ‘all-round’ version used for most regular road races, where weight and puncture resistance is in perfect balance. The RS Profile edition is also the preferred choice for one of the world’s best cycling teams, Ineos.

These ALX tubular tires have been aged in storage for a pro team for several years, so they are therefore ready to race. Pro Team uses this process because it improves the tire’s resistance to punctures by making dry up the rubber and, thus, less able to pick up small rocks from the road.

Please Note: These tubular tires have been pre-glued by a pro team mechanic.
