FORMULA PRO 6TH GENERATION
Setting New Standards for Road Cycling Performance
IRC Tire, leveraging nearly a century of cycling innovation, today launched its revolutionary 6th Generation Formula Pro tire series, setting new benchmarks for performance and durability. Cyclists can expect an astonishing 80% increase in tire lifespan (1.8 x longer than the 5th generation) and a significant 9.97% reduction in rolling resistance, thanks to IRC's innovative new compound and tread design. The new tread pattern also delivers enhanced cornering force through a 0 to 30-degree camber angle range, surpassing the performance of the 5th generation.
This launch introduces three cutting-edge models: the Formula Pro TL RBCC, Formula Pro TL X-Guard, and Formula Pro Tubeless Ready S-Light. Now available in four-width options, these tires redefine performance benchmarks for cyclists of all levels, delivering unparalleled speed, durability, and puncture resistance. They are all 180 TPI and hookless rim compatible
