Zleen Taipan Pro Tubeless 700 x 28C black

The drizzle tire. Fine-deep shoulder pattern safeguards sure grip at rough and wet roads. Fast compounds containing silica in the Pro version ensure excellent grip at fast cornering and deep tilt in high speeds and short turns.

Main Features:

• PRO

Focused on top-level riding performance, be it the tread grip, steering response, rolling resistance, low inflation pressure potential, impact damage and puncture protection, bead reinforcement, or low weight, the Pro takes the best of the tire construction and technology and combines it for the perfectly balanced features to meet the highest demands and quality standards. It entails the use of the right amount of premium 120 tpi body ply, refined, race-proven, often dual compounds, high-tensile aramid beads, elaborate apex sidewall reinforcement, special bead-to-bead fabric protection, dual-ply, and tubeless readiness. The e-Ready tires add highly elastic under-tread puncture protection. All the above are only as needed and applicable. We keep it simple. The Pro means Pro. The thoughtfully mixed blend yields an uncompromised riding experience. Repeatedly and reliably.  

• Tubeless

The tubeless tire casing features specially shaped beads, ensuring sealed rim seating. Unlike passenger or truck tires, bicycle tubeless tires don’t have the inner liner providing the ultimate airtightness. They become tubeless when a sensible volume of tire sealant is applied. For best results, use Zleen Seal Pro tubeless tire sealant. For tube-type rims, add rim tape, and don’t forget about premium quality tubeless valves. 

• Aramid Bead

The flexible high-tensile advanced polyamide fiber (aramid) bead not only make the tires foldable but also lightweight. Combined with the bead shape it enables the tubeless performance. 

• Compound

True Pro 57 ShA low rolling resistance silica road compound providing super reliable steering response at high speeds and deep inclines 

• Skinwall

Skinwall means sidewall-less tire casing. Built of 120 or 60 tpi fabric it adds maximum flexibility to the casing enabling best surface capture and making the tires the lightest and best-performing race and sport types of a kind.  

• 120 TPI

The Pro high-tensile elastic tire casing for race riding experience. 

120 treads per inch equals to nearly 5,000 threads per 1 meter of the tire body ply fabric, the key load carrying component of the tire casing. The finer the fabric the better steering response and grip due to its high flexibility quickly adjusting to the rugged surface at cornering and braking. The 120 tpi casing equally ensures the best grip at acceleration and low inclines. Be it in the rough terrains or in fast road speeds the 120 tpi casing is the best choice for the racing performance demands.
