When the intention is not to see the asphalt for a long time, the choice of the "Road Plus" becomes an option to consider without a doubt. Rapid Red 5 DB 650B allows you to take advantage of larger tires, derived from mountain bike ones, on the same frame, with a greater volume of air and perfect knobs for the more technical dirt road.
"Road Plus" is the definition of all this: the 27.5 "diameter coupled to the even wider specific tire, between 40 and 60 mm , can maintain the final 28" wheel diameter despite the thicker tire.
Greater air volume, greater traction mean greater comfort and safety in tackling more difficult passages and more daring.
These tires blend naturally with the characteristics of Rapid Red 5 DB 650B , starting with a tubeless ready 23 mm wide channel , with a low and ultra resistant 24 mm rim, equal to the "big sister", as well as the 24 spokes straight pull supported by a solid aluminum hub, ready to face the most demanding adventures.
There will be no excessive distances, dirt and dust to stop Rapid Red 5 DB 650B , a wheel that was born for travel to give its best when the going gets tough.
Prepare the track and prepare your mind for your next goal, with you there will be a faithful companion, comfortable and reliable, light and precise.
This ultimately means freedom.
