A Forte Pro Lite weighs only 189g, saving up to 141 grams over an OEM wire bead tire, or 282g worth of rotating mass for a pair. The Forte Pro+ is significantly heavier and less supple. 23mm wide, and with a 120 TPI casing, these have the almost paper-thin supple sidewalls you would expect from a high quality high TPI racing tire and come in lighter than the advertised 205g. I’m not sure they have any flat protection though. At $19 each, and saving 7.4g per dollar, it represents a exceptional value, moderate cost upgrade. They can be purchased from Performance Bike.

Overview:
Price: $19 [Moderate Cost]
Value: 7.4g/$ ($0.13/g) [Exceptional Value]
Recommended with caveats
They seem to be on clearance, being replaced by the new Forte LCR tire. They may also not have any flat protection.
