With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritized (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or dispatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Silca Protocol RCG-3 Gravel Tire in Black

Brand:Silca

Code:PROTOCOL-RCG-3

The RCG-3 is a directional tread, all-around race tire designed for mixed terrain and changing conditions. It delivers robust flat protection without sacrificing speed.

Silca's RCG-3 is ideal for modern gravel race platforms, mixed terrain race builds, and performance gravel geometry. Arriving at gravel tire development with a fresh perspective, Silca took the characteristics of fast XC MTB tires and optimized them for modern gravel with ultra-fast road tire casing concepts.

Engineered for harsh courses and unpredictable terrain, the RCG-3 is built around a supple Pulsar casing and integrates an under-tread puncture breaker for superior impact resistance. Unlike conventional protective tires that feel heavy and sluggish, the RCG-3 architecture minimizes hysteretic losses to protect against flats while maintaining optimal rolling efficiency and traction.

The tread features tightly spaced, elongated center knobs that increase in size and height towards the edges to enhance buoyancy and the contact patch during cornering. This shape keeps the tire rolling smoothly on the rubber rather than squirming on the casing. The RCG-3 is tuned for slightly higher baseline inflation to prevent over-deflection, stabilize the contact patch, and enhance pinch-flat protection. Never install tires with a tire lever.

Features:

  • Ideal for modern gravel race platforms and mixed terrain
  • Directional tread for changing conditions
  • Supple Pulsar casing with under-tread puncture breaker
  • Optimized for higher baseline inflation
  • Tightly spaced, elongated center knobs for enhanced cornering
