Wide road tires built like race tires
Chip seal, crit corners or the cobbles of Roubaix, the Protocol RCR is built to go fast on all of it. Silca took the 29 to 38mm sizes the industry usually treats as touring tires, with thick, heavy, dead-feeling casings, and built them like a race tire instead. Run them at lower pressure and they're thin, supple and quick.
Silca designed around volume first. The 38mm has as much air as the rules allow, and that extra volume absorbs hits and cuts flat risk. That let them strip out the heavy puncture layers, so the tire stays light and lively.
The 29mm is the sleekest option for modern 25mm-internal hookless rims that still fully meets ETRTO standards. Carbon BeadLock beads make hookless setups safer. Standard Kevlar beads stretch and creep over time, which raises blow-off risk. Carbon beads don't stretch.
