Vitamina CL gives Caffélatex a race-day boost on demand. Mixed into the sealant inside the tyre, this polymer powder helps Caffélatex fix bigger punctures, faster and with less pressure loss, without switching to a more concentrated, shorter-lived sealant.

Highlights

• Polymer powder additive made to mix with Caffélatex
• Effetto Mariposa quotes maximum repairable puncture size rising from 4-5mm to 8mm and more at a 10% mix
• Shorter repair time and lower pressure loss
• 200ml resealable jar with a 5ml measuring spoon
• One jar treats 2000ml of Caffélatex
• Made in Italy

How to use it

V-CL's larger particles won't pass easily through a Presta valve, so it goes in with the tyre open. With the tyre mounted, unseat about 10cm of one bead, add the recommended amount of Caffélatex, then pour in V-CL at 10% of the sealant volume (for example, 5ml of V-CL for 50ml of Caffélatex). Pour it onto the sealant so the powder wets and spreads evenly, then remount, inflate and ride.

Built for racing

Effetto Mariposa developed V-CL with professional teams and recommends it for racing. Plan on more frequent tubeless valve maintenance when running Caffélatex with V-CL.
