The first ever gravel tire that was developed around modern sizes first. RCG-1 is the fastest option available for the biggest races.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfair advantage? Maybe. SILCA’s new Protocol RCG-1 tire pairs the rolling speed of a hardpack slick with the high-volume compliance of an XC race tire. From Cat 1 and 2 Gravel races like Gravel Worlds or SBT GRVL, where tempo and comfort are paramount, the RCG-1 tire is designed to push the limits of fast gravel racing by balancing speed with control. It’s also at home on mixed surface rides that regularly transition between tarmac and dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook down the center and you’ll see a low ramped directional tread transition for forward rolling efficiency with a braking surface that bites hard when slowing down. Approach a loose, high-speed sweeping corner, and its elevated, elongated side knobs engage to maximize surface area to deliver grip and stability. It is a dual-personality tread that rolls like a slick in a straight line, yet delivers cornering confidence the moment you lean the bike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 45mm","offer_id":50377900327169,"sku":"TIR459441637","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 50mm","offer_id":50377900359937,"sku":"TIR455382487","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 55mm","offer_id":50377900392705,"sku":"TIR455492347","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/8811\/8273\/files\/rcg1sidesquare_540x_3cbcd26f-5358-4f87-94ac-de82be40f748.webp?v=1790094181"},{"product_id":"protocol-rcg-3-700c","title":"Protocol RCG-3 - 700c","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen lining up in Emporia, KS or Bentonville, AR finding the fastest tire that won't flat is key. This is the choice for those types of courses. More grip, more puncture protection, and all the speed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCG-3 is the successful result of our mission to make the best gravel tire on the planet. Arriving at gravel tire development with a fresh perspective, we took the characteristics everyone loves about fast XC MTB tires and optimized them for modern gravel with ultra-fast road tire casing concepts. The RCG-3 delivers robust flat protection without sacrificing speed. It was engineered for harsh courses and unpredictable terrain like you find in Category 3 gravel events like Unbound, Big Sugar, and The Rift. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around our supple Pulsar casing, the RCG-3 integrates an under-tread puncture breaker selected through many rounds of testing for its superior impact resistance. Unlike conventional protective tires that feel heavy and sluggish due to high internal friction, the RCG-3 architecture minimizes hysteretic losses to protect against flats while maintaining optimal rolling efficiency and traction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCG-3 tread features tightly spaced, elongated center knobs that increase both in size and height as the pattern moves outwards to enhance buoyancy and contact patch during cornering. This clever shape keeps you rolling smoothly on the rubber rather than squirming on the casing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maximize its unique structural layup, the RCG-3 is tuned for slightly higher baseline inflation. This optimized pressure dynamic prevents over-deflection, stabilizes the contact patch, and enhances pinch-flat protection without compromising traction or handling confidence. Accordingly, we added a new casing option to our tire pressure calculator to account for the differences needed for the race casing in our tires. The result is a fast, supple, and resilient tire that allows riders to attack demanding courses knowing their speed won't be compromised by a flat. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 45mm","offer_id":50377937518849,"sku":"TIR453019577","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 50mm","offer_id":50377937551617,"sku":"TIR452132207","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 55mm","offer_id":50377937584385,"sku":"TIR459475787","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/8811\/8273\/files\/rcg3sidesquare_540x_066808f0-d2ff-414c-b8b2-a59d934ec586.webp?v=1790094996"},{"product_id":"protocol-rcg-4-700c","title":"Protocol RCG-4 - 700c","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust because you are riding on rough terrain, doesn't mean you don't still want to go fast.

Bigger doesn't have to be slower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, the cycling industry has treated 34-38mm tires as if they are meant for touring with thick casings that made them slow, heavy, and dead feeling. In developing the RCR tires, we’ve taken a volume-centric approach that prioritizes width and speed without adding useless bulk. RCR are the first road tires of this size range to be designed and optimized with the same care as a racing tire where, using lower pressures, they are thinner, faster, and more supple. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe started with our widest 38 mm model, designing it with the largest volume possible while still adhering to the regulations set forth by our governing body overlords who shall not be named. By leveraging this increased air volume to absorb impacts and reduce flat risks, we stripped away heavy, redundant puncture layers. This allows us to keep the tire lightweight, fast, and comfortable to offer riders the high-volume performance they have been asking for. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimizing around modern 25mm internal width rims, our 29mm wide tire is the sleekest option that fully complies with ETRTO standards. To eliminate the safety vulnerabilities typical of hookless setups, we integrated our Carbon BeadLock technology. Unlike standard Kevlar beads that stretch and \"creep\" over time, which increases blowoff risks; our rigid carbon fiber beads never stretch. From local criteriums to the punishing cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, Protocol RCR keeps you rolling fast and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 29mm","offer_id":50378067575041,"sku":"TIR447282707","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 34mm","offer_id":50378067607809,"sku":"TIR441335017","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 38mm","offer_id":50378067640577,"sku":"TIR448975647","price":148.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/8811\/8273\/files\/RCRSQUARESide_540x_de4019a6-e38b-4729-9cb9-c47801b61503.webp?v=1790097214"}],"url":"https:\/\/bushtukah.com\/collections\/silca-tires-now-in-stock.oembed","provider":"Bushtukah","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
