With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Season:All Year Round
Brand:Silca
Code:SilProtoRCG3
The SILCA Protocol RCG-3 is built for harsh gravel courses and unpredictable terrain where speed needs to be balanced with puncture protection and dependable grip. Available in 45mm, 50mm and 55mm widths, it's designed for demanding Category 3 gravel conditions such as those encountered at Unbound and Big Sugar.
Its moderate tread uses tightly spaced, elongated centre knobs that progressively increase in size and height towards the outside of the tyre. This design maintains low rolling resistance while increasing the contact patch and support available when cornering.
A supple 120 TPI Race Casing is paired with SILCA's Pulsar compound and a SealSkin protection layer beneath the tread. The construction is designed to provide increased impact and puncture resistance without the heavy, sluggish feel associated with more heavily protected tyres. CarbonBead BeadLock technology provides dimensional stability, while the tubeless-ready construction is engineered around modern wide rims, sealants and gravel tyre pressures.

Specification:
Tyre widths are measured by SILCA on a 25mm rim after 24 hours.
