RECOMMENDATION TO COMPETE ON A ROAD BIKE
CRITÉRIUM CANCUN is competed on a very fast and technical 1.9 km (1.19 mi) circuit, which takes place on a stamped concrete surface that simulates cobblestone. It is a surface that, due to the characteristics of the cement, allows you to have an incredible grip in the cornering areas, being able to risk a little more, but in the same way due to its pattern, if you do not use the correct air pressure, or look for a correct width for your tires, you can suffer from the vibrations of the stamping. Air pressure and tire width are an important factor when choosing the right one for CRITÉRIUM CANCUN and getting it right, will influence the overall performance of your bike. For this reason, we offer you the following recommendations:
USE WIDE TIRES
​
On the market there are endless tire options that you can use for this competition, ranging from 28mm to 41mm wide, which allow you to use lower inflation pressures, which, in turn, allows you to completely absorb vibrations, and they offer you less friction against the imperfections of the ground, so you have to find that ideal width that gives you the rigidity and softness to have a comfortable competition.
ADVANTAGES OF WIDE TIRES
-
Low rolling resistance thanks to a wider tire contact area.
-
Greater stability and control thanks to a larger contact area.
-
Greater comfort thanks to wide tires, since it moves better with lower air pressure, absorbing the irregularities of the terrain.
-
Better cornering traction
