SILCA Protocol RCR Road Tyre

High-Volume Speed for Real-World Roads

The SILCA Protocol RCR brings genuine race-tyre performance to wider 29, 34 and 38 mm road tyres. Instead of treating increased width as a touring feature, SILCA has created a lightweight, supple and fast tyre designed around modern rims and lower road pressures.

The additional air volume helps absorb impacts, smooth out coarse surfaces and reduce fatigue while maintaining the responsive feel expected from a performance road tyre. It is made for everything from fast local bunch rides and criteriums to long days on demanding roads.

Made for Noosa and Sunshine Coast Road Riding

The RCR is ideally suited to the variety of road cycling found around Noosa and the Sunshine Coast—from fast coastal roads to rolling hinterland loops, sustained climbs and long descents.

On the popular Noosa Local Loop, the RCR delivers responsive acceleration and confident cornering through the Gyndier Drive switchbacks. Its supple, high-volume construction also helps maintain speed and comfort across changing road surfaces throughout the Noosa Hinterland.

For the Noosa Coastal Ride towards Coolum Beach, the RCR combines low rolling resistance with dependable grip through fast coastal corners and rolling terrain.

Longer Strava routes such as the Noosa–Kin Kin Loop, Sunshine Coast Hinterland Loop and the challenging Maleny–Kenilworth–Mapleton–Montville Loop highlight the RCR’s greatest strength: race-level speed with the comfort needed for hours of climbing, descending and riding across variable Sunshine Coast road surfaces.

Whether you are racing, joining a fast Noosa bunch ride or spending a full day in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, the SILCA RCR is designed to help you stay fast and comfortable for longer.

Available from Venture Cycles Noosa.
