Title: Weight of Fit FAF kevlar tyre...
Post by: PaulM on September 26, 2011, 05:27 PM

Bit of a sad question but does anyone know the exact weight of a Fit FAF kevlar folding tyre? in either 2.1 or 1.9 sizes?

Cheers
Paul

Just incase anyone was actually interested the FAF kevlar 1.95 = 480g/17oz, the 2.10 = 580/20oz and the 2.30 = 600g/21oz

If you really want lite sticky tires Check out TIOGA PowerBlocks.

There meant to be race tyres but street n park riders are starting to use them because there so light.

20x2.1 wire = 395g ,     20x2.1 s-spec kevlar = 330g

20x1.95 wire = 380g ,   20x1.95 s-spec kevlar = 305g

I did look at those and the Maxxis Grifter tyres too which are also light, but I wasn't keen on the overall looks of them tyres and I really wanted tan walls too.
Good info though
