Q: What makes the Hutchinson Caracal Race so fast and ideal for New Zealand roads?

A: It’s engineering designed to blaze fast. The Hutchinson Caracal Race is independently proven as the fastest gravel tyre available, built for elite racing and high-speed gravel riding. Its secret weapons? The innovative SwiftEasy casing and Mach Tread 3.0 rubber — both borrowed from Hutchinson’s road-racing tech. These ensure a smooth, powerful ride across NZ's mixed surfaces.

TUFO Tyres are a great option for cyclists who prioritise:

• Puncture resistance: If you frequently ride on rough roads or trails with a high risk of flats, TUFO's resistance can be a game-changer. One of TUFO's biggest selling points is their impressive puncture resistance. The tubular design creates a very strong bond between the tyre and inner tube, making it difficult for sharp objects to penetrate.
  
  
• Lightweight performance: Racers and weight-weenies who seek every edge can benefit from TUFO's lightweight construction. TUFO Tyres are known for being lightweight, which can contribute to a faster and more responsive ride.

Why Choose Végétalex?

1. Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: Unlike traditional tyre sealants, Végétalex is made with natural ingredients and is 100% plastic free. Perfect for cyclists who care about reducing waste and riding green.
   
   
2. Fast Acting Puncture Seal: Seals holes up to 5mm in seconds, keeping you rolling instead of walking your bike home.
   
   
3. Long Lasting Protection: Once inside your tyre, it remains liquid and effective for months, reducing the need for frequent top-ups.
   
   
4. Easy to Use: Simply inject it into your tyre, give the wheel a shake, and you’re ready to ride. No mess, no fuss.

Considering Orome Valar Wheelsets

While Orome Valar wheelsets may not be the most established brand on the market, they present an interesting option for cyclists seeking high-performance carbon wheels at a competitive price point.

Customers who have tried these wheels, like Tony are having a great experience:

The last set of wheels I rode had DT Swiss 350 hubs - the new wheels have DT Swiss 240/s there is a big difference in rolling capacity between the 2 hubs with the 240/s being far superior.

I weigh 78kg and noted no side movement when standing up to ride a climb which is great as in the past, wheels I have ridden rub on the brake pads which is frustrating.

I live in the Coromandel, and we have several long downhill roads and the wheels handle like a dream you can push them hard into corners and it feels safe, as above the hubs come into their own.

The wheels do not overheat under braking again another positive
Cross winds on the downhill and flat are not an issue with the wheel dept the wheels stay solid.

As per my comments on the climbing the wheels are stiff but not over the top where you feel every bump in the road, they do absorb the shock
Overall, I am very happy and would have no issues in purchasing another set when required.

Overall, Orome Valar carbon wheelsets offer a promising combination of features and value. If you're looking to upgrade your road bike with lightweight, aerodynamic wheels without breaking the bank, Orome Valar is definitely a brand worth exploring.
