Tire giant Goodyear has launched some new bicycle tires, expanding their Ultra High Performance (UHP) line of cycling road tires. If going fast and having great traction are you goals, then the new Eagle F1 SuperSport RS and Eagle F1 RS are made for you.(Photos / Goodyear)Goodyears UHP tires represent the brands dedication to cutting-edge tire research, development, and production techniques. They also use the most advanced fabrics and compounds to manufacture their tires. Lets take a look at some common features of these two new tires. Power TensileGoodyears Advanced Profile combines a non-overlapping double-layer casing architecture with a reinforced shoulder turn-up and an extended tread profile. So, by eliminating the traditional casing overlap within the main contact patch, the tread deforms more efficiently. This reduces localized stiffness and internal energy loss. At the same time, the reinforced shoulder structure increases lateral support. The wider tread profile creates a smoother, more predictable transition from crown to sidewall.This could help deliver:Lower rolling resistancePredictable handling across wet and dry conditionsOptimized fit for modern wide-rim systemsUUHP CompoundThe UUHP Compound (Ultra Ultra High Performance you know theyre serious when theres two ultras) utilizes high-surface-area silica combined with a proprietary rubber compound formulated for maximum grip, speed, and durability. Goodyears upgraded UUHP compound claims to reduce internal energy loss and limit heat generation during dynamic loading. When Goodyear improves the efficiency of the compound, rolling resistance is reduced while reportedly enhancing traction in wet and dry conditions.Goodyear says the result is a compound with: Improved rolling resistanceSmoother high-speed behaviorA balance between energy return, grip, and thermal stabilityEagle F1 SuperSport RSThe Eagle F1 SuperSport RS is Goodyears lightest road tire. Its designed to provide ultimate race-day performance in multiple disciplines like road, time-trial, and triathlon competition. It utilizes a revolutionary newPower Tensilepolyamide casing material. And thats combined withUUHP Compound andAdvanced Profileconstruction.The evolution of Goodyears cutting-edge technologies results in a claimed 15% reduction in rolling resistance (at 72 psi) compared to the previous Eagle F1 SuperSport R. For those of you who care, this 1.5-watt reduction in rolling resistance, combined with improved grip and handling characteristics, results in the fastest tire Goodyear has ever made.Compound: UUHPCasing: Dual-Layer 120 TPI Power TensileSpecification: Tubeless Ready 700 x 28 mm / 28-622 260 gTubeless Ready 700 x 30 mm / 30-622 275 gTubeless Ready 700 x 32 mm / 32-622 300 gRRP: $99.95 / 89.95 / 84.95Eagle F1 RSThe Eagle F1 RS is Goodyears all-around road race tire. It was developed to perform at the highest level of cycling. Just like its sibling tire, it too utilizes a newPower Tensilepolyamide casing material,UUHP Compound, andAdvanced Profileconstruction. Except it addsR:Shieldpuncture protection.Goodyears cutting-edge technologies result in a massive 32% reduction in claimed rolling resistance (at 72 psi) compared to the previous Eagle F1R. That means a 4.8-watt reduction in rolling resistance, combined with improved grip and durability characteristics.Compound: UUHPCasing: Dual-Layer 120 TPI Power Tensile with an R:Shield breakerSpecification: Tube-Type 700 x 25 / 25-622 200 gTube-Type 700 x 28 / 28-622 220 gTube-Type 700 x 30 / 30-622 240 gTube-Type 700 x 32 / 32-622 265 gTubeless Ready 700 x 28 / 28-622 290 gTubeless Ready 700 x 30 / 30-622 305 gTubeless Ready 700 x 32 / 32-622 330 gTubeless Ready 700 x 34 / 34-622 345 gRRP: Tube-Type $84.95 / 74.95 / 68.95Tubeless Ready $94.95 / 84.95 / 79.95GoodyearBike.com
