The Ere Research Genus Pro CCX takes some of the finest aspects of earlier-generation tyre technology and brings things up to date with a tubeless-ready construction and compatibility with hookless rims. Featuring a 320 TPI (threads per inch) cotton casing, this tyre is exceptionally supple, delivering a smooth and responsive ride.
The construction combines a Zylon bead with a latex-coated interior that addresses cotton’s typical air permeability issues to create a reliable tubeless option. Reviewer Matthew Page found the Ere Research Genus Pro CCX effortless to fit, inflating easily on both Ere and Cannondale wheels.
This is a lightweight option (around 275g per tyre) that’s ideal if you’re looking for speed and agility on the road, and the Genus Pro CCX provides outstanding comfort. You still get feedback through your hands so you know about changes to the surface beneath your wheels. This is a big benefit, boosting your confidence and speed on descents.
An Armis X protection layer under the tread provides puncture resistance, although the tread itself is thin so the lifespan is likely to be limited. Still, this is a race-orientated tyre so that’s not uncommon.
The Genus Pro CCX delivers incredible performance with a beautifully smooth and fast ride quality – albeit with a high-end price tag to match.
Why it’s here Supreme comfort and feeling of speed, at a price that might make you wince
