Clinchers are almost certainly the most popular choice of tyre. They’re simple to install, dependable and allow you to quickly replace an innertube should you be unfortunate enough to puncture while out training. These days, however, it’s becoming increasingly common to see clincher road tyres in races. They’re faster, lighter, more puncture resistant and grippier than ever before. Below are five of our favourites clincher tyres on the market.
