SILCA Protocol RCG-1 tire pairs a low-profile tread with wide rim compatibility
The SILCA Protocol RCG-1 tire is where years of pressure-optimization research were always headed: rolling speed as the last variable pressure data alone couldn't solve. A low-profile tread trades height for speed on hardpack and pavement transitions, and tubeless compatibility with modern wide internal rim widths keeps pressure low without sacrificing casing support.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The RCG-1's low-profile tread lets it roll like a wider road tire the moment a course reverts to pavement, a tradeoff a taller gravel tread can't make."
