Looks promising. Price is reasonable. Road tires only in 24 and 26mm. Would love to see a 22mm with thin tread and no vectran, like the old Conti SS 23.

Any updates on this? The website says the creator developed Black Chili and Gripton
Would be interesting to see it tested by BRR

They also offer a 25g inner tube made of TPU which claims to save 8W (not sure if each or for the pair but it's phrased in the singular) compared to a 100g butyl tube, measured on a track.

Interesting. So as fast as latex but 1/3rd of the weight? I'll have to look into these for flat courses. I wonder how they compare to latex in pressure retention and puncture resistance

What benefit does flywheel effect have? Any inertia requires energy to build up. At best, you would just be changing the timing.
I see your point about hills, but as mentioned above these are not well suited for clinchers on hilly courses due to heat.

I thought I was the only one still riding clinchers. /pink

Interesting tire... would be interested to hear any personal reviews... can't find much info on them otherwise.
