A race-bred 700x28c road tire for riders who want a supple, fast-rolling ride without giving up puncture protection, with a tubeless-ready casing so you can drop the inner tube whenever you are ready.
Overview
The Machvolt Pro G5 sits at the top of CST's road racing range. The thinking behind it is simple: a race tire should feel fast and lively under you, but it should not leave you stranded at the side of the road the first time you roll over glass or grit.
To get there, CST builds the Machvolt Pro G5 on a 120 TPI casing for suppleness and road feel, adds an ultra-lightweight Defender Cobweb layer under the tread for puncture protection, and uses a dual compound tread. The folding bead is tubeless ready, so on tubeless-ready rims with sealant it can be run without an inner tube. This version is the 700x28c size (ETRTO 28-622) in black.
It makes the most sense as an upgrade from the stock tires on a road bike: for fast group rides, race days and long weekend efforts where you want speed and comfort from a 28c tire, but still need protection on roads that are rarely perfectly clean.
Why You'll Like It
Supple, fast-feeling casing
The 120 TPI casing is built for suppleness, low rolling resistance and clear road feedback, the qualities that make a tire feel quick.
Protection without the bulk
CST's Defender Cobweb layer is designed to resist punctures while staying very light, so you are not dragging around a heavy protection belt.
Ready for tubeless
Paired with tubeless-ready rims and sealant, it can run without a tube for lower rolling resistance, self-sealing of small punctures and the option of lower pressures for comfort and grip.
Two compounds, two jobs
A dual compound tread uses a harder rubber in the centre for durability and rolling speed and a softer rubber on the shoulders for cornering grip.
Easy to carry and fit
The folding bead keeps the tire light and lets you pack a spare easily for long rides or trips.
Who Is It For?
The Machvolt Pro G5 is for road riders who care about speed: racers, fast club riders and anyone who wants their bike to feel livelier than it does on basic training tires. The 28c width suits riders who want a little extra comfort and grip for long days in the saddle.
On Indian roads, where loose gravel, glass and debris collect along the edge of the lane, a race tire with a dedicated puncture-protection layer and a tubeless-ready option is a practical choice for riders who want performance every day, not just on race day.
Good to Know
Always inflate within the pressure range printed on the tire sidewall and on your rim.
To run it tubeless, use tubeless-ready rims, tubeless valves and fresh sealant, and top up the sealant regularly.
Check the tread after rides and remove any embedded glass or grit to keep the tire running smoothly for longer.
