The Small Bird is A Dugast's all-rounder for mixed conditions, especially courses with a slippery top layer. Think of it as the middle ground between a Rhino and a Typhoon.

Tread

Outer studs are twice the height of the centre studs and use an extra-soft rubber for strong cornering grip, while the lower centre keeps rolling resistance down.

A Dugast construction

A 240 TPI cotton casing gives the supple, grippy feel A Dugast is known for, with a 0.1 mm neoprene coating that stops the casing absorbing water and mud. A bead shield and inner shield add protection.

Compatibility & fit

Designed for rims with a 21 mm internal width, the maximum Vittoria says keeps the tyre within UCI width rules; the stated size is guaranteed at the recommended pressure on that rim. Maximum pressure 3.5 bar (51 psi). Fitting and tubeless set-up are separate workshop services and aren't included in the price; the Tune Cycles workshop can do both for you.
