Like the Maxxis Equipe Legere, the Hors Categorie is a pro-level race tire with a 120 TPI casing.
The Maxxis Hors Categorie has a dual-ply carcass with two different rubber hardnesses to optimize your ride. The harder 62a center has ultra-low rolling resistance and wears slowly, while the softer 57a side offers incredible grip in tight corners. The casing is nylon with a 2-ply breaker for strength and durability.
"After 9 years of racing on tubulars, I wasn't looking forward to putting clinchers on my race bike. When I put 130psi in my Maxxis hors categorie tires I couldn''t tell the difference except in my wallet." -Luke Stockwell, Jittery Joe''s/Choco-Andean Eco-Coffee Pro Cycling Team
