Dugast Typhoon Flying Doctor cyclo-cross tubular tyre Neoprene coating 33 mm

A high-performance cyclo-cross inner tube for all terrains

The Typhoon Flying Doctor Neoprene Coating 33 mmDugast is a competition-grade tubular tyre designed for cyclo-cross, particularly prized for its versatility and its ability to maintain grip and performance across a wide variety of terrain.

Part number 11A00670, this 700x33 mm tubular tyre combines the renowned Typhoon tread pattern with a Flying Doctor 240 TPI casing, specially developed to allow for low-pressure use. This design enhances comfort, grip and bike control when conditions become challenging.

The Neopreen Coating, applied directly to the casing, provides additional protection against moisture, mud and water ingress. It thus helps to preserve the casing and extend the tube’s lifespan.

Flying Doctor casing: ride with lower tyre pressure

Flying Doctor technology is one of this tubular tyre’s key features.

Its reinforced casing, made from 87.5% cotton and 12.5% Kevlar, offers greater sidewall strength whilst retaining the flexibility required of a competition tubular tyre. It is designed to remain stable as pressure drops, allowing the cyclist to achieve greater traction and comfort.

In cyclo-cross, the ability to fine-tune tyre pressure is essential. Lower pressure can improve grip and the bike’s handling over roots, grass, loose terrain or technical sections.

The Flying Doctor casing therefore allows the full potential of the Typhoon tread pattern to be realised.

The Typhoon tread pattern: versatility and grip

The Typhoon is designed as a versatile tread pattern for cyclo-cross. Its tread pattern offers a balance between efficiency on fast sections and grip in corners or on uneven surfaces.

The knobs and tread pattern are engineered to maintain good traction when the terrain becomes loose, whilst avoiding any excessive loss of efficiency on faster sections.

It is this versatility that makes the Typhoon a particularly attractive choice for races or training sessions where conditions may change throughout the day.

Neopreen Coating: extra protection

The Neopreen Coating protects the casing against the stresses associated with cyclo-cross riding.

The coating applied to the casing limits the penetration of water and debris into the fibres. This protection is particularly useful when the tubular tyre is regularly used in wet or muddy conditions.

This finish also helps to preserve the casing’s properties over repeated use.

After a ride in the mud, however, it is still recommended to clean the tyre carefully and leave it to dry at room temperature.

A 33 mm width suitable for competition

With its stated width of 33 mm, the Typhoon Flying Doctor ‘ Dugast ’ corresponds to the size traditionally favoured for cyclo-cross.

This width provides sufficient air volume to ride at low pressure whilst maintaining a profile suited to the demands of competition. However, the actual width once the tyre is fitted may vary depending on the inner width and profile of the rim.

Expert tip: do not choose your tyre pressure based solely on a theoretical value. Start with a reasonable pressure and then adjust it gradually according to your weight, the terrain and how the tyre performs. Too low a pressure can lead to excessive contact with the rim and impair the bike’s handling.

Finally, as this is a tubular tyre, it must be fitted to a rim specifically compatible with tubular tyres.

What types of terrain is the Typhoon Dugast suitable for?

The Typhoon is designed as a versatile tyre, particularly well-suited to variable conditions.

It is particularly suitable for:

• dry terrain;
• mixed terrain;
• grass;
• loose ground;
• slightly damp terrain;
• cyclo-cross courses alternating between fast sections and technical sections.

However, for extremely muddy or very specific conditions, a more specialised tyre pattern may be preferable.

Fitting and maintenance

Like any tubular tyre, the Typhoon Dugast requires careful fitting onto a tubular-compatible rim.

Preparation and gluing must be carried out correctly to ensure the tyre sits securely, particularly when cornering at high speed.

For maintenance, remove mud and dirt after use with water and mild soap. Avoid harsh products that could damage the casing or treads.

Storing the tyre in a dry place, at a moderate temperature and away from direct light will also help to preserve its qualities.
