FMB Service Course Tubular
Price range: $159.00 through $199.00
Now with ultralight TPU tube: the workhorse of the professional peloton—supple, fast and with superb grip.
- Cotton casing for all-round performance
- Silk casing for the ultimate in supple speed
FMB tubulars are made by hand in a small workshop in Brittany, France. The tread is glued to the inflated casing to avoid the inbuilt stresses that occur with ‘flat-glued’ tubulars. This means that the tread absorbs less energy when it deforms as the tire rolls along. The result is a faster, more supple tire. These are the tires that professional racers buy with their own money for their most important races.
