A lightweight 700x28c road tire for riders who want a supple, quick-rolling tire for training and racing, with a built-in puncture protection layer to keep them riding when the road gets dirty.
Overview
The Energia is part of CST's race family, built around a simple goal: give road riders a tire that feels lively and fast without asking them to give up protection. It is the kind of tire you fit when you want your bike to feel more responsive than it does on basic stock rubber.
CST builds the Energia on a 120 TPI casing for suppleness and strength and adds a lightweight EPS layer underneath for puncture protection. The tread uses a dual compound, harder in the centre and softer on the shoulders, and the folding bead keeps the weight down to 300g in this 700x28c size (ETRTO 28-622), which is rated up to 120 PSI.
It suits riders who put in regular training kilometres and want one tire that is fast enough for group rides and events, yet dependable enough for everyday use.
Why You'll Like It
Lively 120 TPI feel
The high thread count casing gives a supple ride with low rolling resistance and good road feedback.
Protection built in
A lightweight, cut-resistant EPS layer helps reduce punctures without adding much weight.
Grip where you need it
The dual compound puts harder rubber in the centre for durability and speed and softer rubber on the shoulders for cornering grip.
Light for its size
At 300g for a folding 700x28c, it keeps rotating weight low for snappy acceleration.
Comfortable 28c width
The 28c size offers a good balance of comfort, grip and speed for long rides.
Who Is It For?
The Energia is for road cyclists who train regularly and want a performance tire that does not need babying: club riders, sportive and event riders, and anyone upgrading from heavier stock tires.
For riders in India, where daily routes often include rough patches, debris and gravel along the road edge, it offers a sensible mix of race-tire feel and puncture protection for both weekday training and weekend long rides.
Good to Know
Inflate within the pressure range shown on the tire sidewall and your rim; the maximum rating is 120 PSI.
Use a correctly sized 700c road inner tube for 28c tires.
Check the tread after rides and remove any embedded glass or grit to extend the tire's life.
