Ready When It Isn't.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SILCA Protocol RCG-3 is a fast, versatile gravel tyre created for demanding courses and unpredictable terrain. It combines technology inspired by fast XC mountain bike tyres with a supple, race-focused casing designed specifically for modern gravel bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the smoother RCG-1, the RCG-3 uses a moderate tread pattern and enhanced puncture protection. This makes it the ideal all-round choice when your ride includes fast gravel, rough forest tracks, loose corners and surfaces that can change considerably throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Noosa and Sunshine Coast Gravel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCG-3 is particularly well suited to gravel riding around Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, where routes can transition between sealed hinterland roads, hardpacked gravel, loose-over-hard corners and rougher forest trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a strong choice for exploring the Noosa Hinterland around Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Kin Kin, as well as bike-appropriate sections of the Noosa Biosphere Trails. Its combination of speed, traction and puncture protection gives riders greater confidence when heading beyond familiar roads or tackling longer Sunshine Coast gravel adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTightly spaced, elongated centre knobs help the tyre roll efficiently, while the knobs progressively increase in size and height towards the shoulders. This creates a larger, more stable contact patch when cornering without the vague or squirming feel sometimes associated with more aggressive gravel tyres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the tread, SILCA's SealSkin protection layer improves resistance to impacts and punctures. It is designed to provide additional protection without making the tyre feel heavy or unnecessarily slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pulsar compound balances rolling efficiency, grip and durability, while the lightweight Race Casing maintains a supple, responsive ride. CarbonBead BeadLock technology helps the tyre retain its intended dimensions throughout its service life, and the tubeless-ready construction allows riders to take advantage of lower pressures for improved traction and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from Venture Cycles Noosa, the RCG-3 is an excellent all-round gravel tyre for riders exploring Noosa, the Hinterland and the wider Sunshine Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the RCG-3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile tread for fast and unpredictable gravel terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore grip and puncture protection than the RCG-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTightly spaced centre knobs maintain rolling efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressively larger shoulder knobs improve cornering stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealSkin protection layer resists impacts and punctures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulsar rubber and silica race compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupple 120 TPI Race Casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbonBead BeadLock technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubeless-ready construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for gravel racing, exploration and mixed-surface riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700 × 45 mm | 700 x 50mm | 700 x 55mm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eETRTO:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45-622\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 TPI Race Casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompound:\u003c\/strong\u003e SILCA Pulsar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePuncture protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e SealSkin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tubeless ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClaimed weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 495 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth measured on a 25 mm internal-width rim after 24 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended minimum SILCA sealant:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 ml per tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SILCA","offers":[{"title":"700 x 45","offer_id":47077061296300,"sku":"SI\/163311","price":159.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"700 x 50","offer_id":47077061329068,"sku":"SI\/163328","price":159.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"700 x 55","offer_id":47077061361836,"sku":"SI\/163335","price":159.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/1906\/2956\/files\/Silca_Prorocol_RCG-3_gravel_tyre_ed1f9ea4-617c-404d-8442-b2ade4c23223.webp?v=1787877350","url":"https:\/\/venturecycles.com.au\/products\/silca-protocol-rcg-3-gravel-tyre-700-45-mm","provider":"Venture Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
