Veloflex

We are bicycle artisans, we produce bicycle tubulars and tires for racing. All our tubulars (both traditional and ‘open’ tubular tires, also known as clincher tires) are made by hand in our laboratory in Presezzo (in the province of Bergamo) and produced one by one through artisan processes. We pay special attention to our artisan vocation since tubulars are products that need manual skill, care and patience. We produce tubulars with the same techniques which were used more than 70 years ago, with the same number of accurate, meticulous steps. As a matter of fact, the production of a tubular involves 35 operations, starting off with the raw material and the different components (yarn, latex, rubber, glue, valves). Also, producing a tubular takes three times longer than making a clincher tire (open tubular). Over the past 70 years raw material have changed and, obviously, improved, but the processing remains the same, manual skill is fundamental and we are proud that there are no Veloflex tubulars which are identical to one another on the market.
