Vitamina CL is a sealant additive, made to mix with Caffélatex sealant.

Added directly inside the tyre to Caffélatex, V-CL increases the maximum repairable puncture size, while reducing repairing time and pressure loss.

Vitamina CL helps Caffélatex fix bigger punctures, faster, with lower pressure loss
Race-day performance on demand
The mixing happens directly inside the tubeless tyre

Charateristics:

Sizes: Vitamina CL comes in re-selable jars of 200 ml, with a 5 ml spoon. One jar of V-CL is enough additive for 2000 ml of Caffélatex.

Why we created it: Caffélatex is a reliable, well-functioning sealant. Cyclists of all levels and ambitions, worldwide, use it and love it: it can be injected through the valve, it doesn’t contain ammonia and it foams up when agitated (ensuring an optimal covering of the internal tyre surface). â€¨For those who would like an even higher protection for race day or an important event - instead of adding a more concentrated (and less durable) sealant to our offering - we opted to develop a specific stand alone product, to boost the puncture repairing ability of Caffélatex, “on demand”.

Vitamina CL (or V-CL) is a polymeric powder with a very precise particle size and density, to easily mix with Caffélatex directly inside the tubeless tyre.

How it works: Added directly inside the tubeless tyre to Caffélatex, 10% of V-CL (for example 5 ml of V-CL for 50 ml of Caffélatex) increases the maximum repairable puncture size from 4 – 5 mm to 8 mm (and more), with shorter repairing time and lower pressure loss.

Extensive field testing with professional teams has proven V-CL is easy to work with and very effective. We recommend V-CL for racing applications. â€¨A more frequent tubeless valve maintenance should be taken into account when using Caffélatex in conjunction with V-CL.â€¨

How to use it: The bigger particles of Vitamina CL won’t pass through the tubeless Presta valve easily, so the best practice is as follows:

with the tubeless tyre mounted on the rim, open it on one side on a 10 cm length and add Caffélatex (for a precise recommended quantity – given the tyre type and size please see resources)
add 10% of V-CL directly inside the tyre.â€¨EXAMPLE: if the recommended quantity of sealant for the specific tyre is 100 ml, then 2 spoons (10 ml) of V-CL should be added. V-CL comes with a 5 ml measuring spoon inside its jarâ€¨NOTE: it’s important to pour V-CL on the sealant, to ‘wet’ the powder and help it spread evenly;
