The Dugast Rhino is an excellent mud cyclo-cross tubular and gives superb grip in really muddy conditions due to its deep profile tread and is hugely popular on the UK CX scene. The Dugast Rhino has tall, widely spaced knobs that won’t pack with mud and can help you find incredible traction in any kind of mire, from thin and slick to thick and sticky. The Rhino has a cotton casing providing a comfortable ride and unreal cornering in any kind of wet conditions at settings as low as 25psi. The Dugast Rhino is not so good when it’s fast and dry, the tyre is slow rolling in dry conditions and the tall knobs squirm excessively on any type of hard surface. Please note it is recommended that you treat the sidewalls with Aquaseal Urethane Sealant to protect them from water damage and abrasion.

Andre Dugast started with Dourdoigne in 1952 and branched out on his own in 1974, just three years before Dourdoigne closed their doors forever. He has seen the rise and fall of all the modern champions, and made tubulars for most of them. At its height, the Andre Dugast Company employed 6 people. Today he works alone and is one of the masters of a dying art. Dugast casings define what supple means. In Europe, top pro’s run these at unthinkable low pressures. A top notch glue job is critical when rolling around the course at 25 psi! Dugast tires are designed for classic European style cross courses. This means grassy fields (generally smooth) with a combination of pavement.
