The Freedom Blade aims to give you race-tyre handling with training-tyre reliability, using a silica training compound and a Kevlar breaker under the tread.

Highlights

• Silica training compound for traction and confident cornering
• K3 (Kevlar) breaker under the tread for puncture protection
• 60 TPI casing
• Folding aramid bead
• 700 x 28c size

Compound and protection

Freedom uses a silica training compound for grip and speed through corners. Under the tread sits a K3 breaker: a light, high-density Kevlar mesh that adds puncture protection. The 60 TPI casing adds further protection.

Folding bead

The bead is spun aramid fibre, so the tyre folds for carrying and is lighter than a wire-bead equivalent, while still holding securely on the rim.

Compatibility & fit

This tyre is sized 700 x 28c. Match it to the size moulded into your current tyre's sidewall: tyres for different wheel diameters aren't interchangeable, and the width needs to suit your rim and frame clearance. It has a folding bead. Freedom doesn't list it as tubeless-ready, so plan to run it with an inner tube. Fitting and puncture repair are workshop services and aren't included in the price. Our workshop can fit your new tyres and check the tubes and rim tape while the wheels are out.
