Just as with all the tannus tires, the slick is made using patented puncture proof resin called aither 1.1 that allows the slick design to replicate the weight and resistance of a standard tire and be the only airless bicycle tire to weigh the same as the standard tire, tube, and rim strip combination adopted by many road riders.

In addition to the minimal weight and resistance, the slick repels the elements and provides a guaranteed 5000 miles of flat proof riding.

The slick even excels in wet conditions with increased grip and also offers no stretching in the heat.
