Latest and Fastest tire from the tire Gods and FMB in collaboration with Aero-Coach

Reducing rolling resistance is imperative to improved cycling performance, particularly during high speed track cycling. A tyre with a high rolling resistance will require more power to travel at the same speed, whilst a low rolling resistance tyre requires less power.

AeroCoach has collaborated with French artisan tyre makers FMB to ensure that track tyre development is up to scratch. With tyre companies that previously made fast tyres dropping track tyres from their range, or in some cases disappearing altogether, it is more important than ever that riders have the best equipment available to go as fast as possible, both professionals and amateurs.

 

 

The testing here was conducted at fixed pressures for comparison purposes: note that these are not global pressure recommendations, but they allow us to compare tyres against each other. 


The final clincher version of the FMB/AeroCoach Pista Ultra 3000 had the lowest rolling resistance of any track tyre we have tested so far. In second place is the tubular Pista Ultra 3000 which had a Crr around 4.5% higher. The thicker tread version, recommended for sprinters doing fast standing starts is called the Pista Gold 3000. This on average has a Crr 13.5% higher than the Pista Ultra 3000.


If you ride Vittoria Pista Speed tubulars at 150psi, or Vittoria Pista Oro clinchers at 115psi (nearly identical Crr values), then swapping to the Pista Ultra 3000 tubular or the Pista Ultra 3000 clincher is around 1 metre advantage every single lap of a 250m velodrome when travelling at 55kph: 91cm per lap for the tubular and 105cm per lap for the clincher, all things being equal. The tubular Pista Ultra 3000 compared with the tubular Dugast Pista Latex Silk is ~52cm advantage per lap. 


A rolling resistance change of 0.6w on the chart below is worth around 25m over an hour record at 55kph.
