Product Information

These tyres are designed for taking your BMX through the full gauntlet of urban cycling, park riding, and commuting - even for cargo bikes, etc. and can take an enormous amount of abuse. The bead-to-bead tread provides resilience and traction also when dropping staircases or grinding rails. Fast and Gripping Single – The same single compound is used throughout the whole manufacturing process to produce a tyre that stays consistent no matter what of condition you ride in. UST tyres – UST or Universal Standard Tubeless tyres are in most ways, the same as a tubeless tyre, but with two key differences. Firstly, the bead is more squared shaped, to provide a much tighter, snug fit when used with a UST compatible rim. The changed profile of the bead, give the tyre a tighter fit, and helps remove the issue of ‘burping’. Secondly, the tyre is made with a much more rigid sidewall, which means there is little to no expansion or compression when the tyre is inflated. Tread Pattern Choosing the correct size BMX bike is very important, bikes that are too large will be cumbersome and hard to manoeuvre and bikes that are too small can feel cramped and hard to keep under control. TPI or Threads Per Inch is another way of referring to the carcass of the tyre. The carcass is ultimately what gives the tyre its strength, shape and to a small degree the weight of the tyre. And here is why…

These are hands down the best tyres for bmx. They have amazing grip on skateparks and on dirt, and last for ages. 100% would recommend.” Race bikes feature 20-inch wheels on all models, but the components and frame are sized dependent on age and height. Youth race bikes start from a Micro size for very young riders and offer a range of sizes through to expert XL. Pro size and upwards are considered adult bikes and are usually offered up to a Pro XXXL or larger for very tall riders.

Compound

I think the price could be lower for what is basically a less beefy moped tire, which only cost about 30 dollars themselves. One of our most frequently asked questions in freestyle is, which rear hub do I want, a freecoaster or a cassette? Most experienced riders know their preference, but if you’re new to the sport it can be difficult to know which choice to make. Choosing the correct bike for your discipline is extremely important, and sometimes for those new to the sport it can be difficult to know or decide, so we’ve broken down the main differences to help you make a decision. All of our tyres have a recommended minimum and maximum tyre pressure embossed on the side. These recommended minimums and maximum are there for your safety, and we strongly advise that you do not go under or over these pressure. Finding your right tyre pressure can take a little bit of time to get right, but we recommend starting off somewhere near the maximum and letting out 5-10 psi until you feel comfortable. Clincher tyres – They have a bead that allows the tyre to clinch to the rim of your wheel. These types of tyres require an inner tube to keep the air pressure contained within the tyre.

Keeping in mind I'm a recreational rider, not even close to competitive. But I've been riding my whole life, both street motorcycles and dirt bikes, and bicycles both on and off road. So consider the source. Lots of experience, but I'm no tire shredding bad ass. Tubeless tyres – Tubeless mountain bike tyres are made up of a clincher tyre that has an additional butyl liner moulded into the tyre. And therefore uses a sealant product to retain the air once a foreign object punctures a hole in the tyre, instead of relying on an inner tube. Is can help save weight, and provides a more natural ride. As the friction between the inner tube and tyre has been removed.This is a great tyre for urban environments but also perfect on flatland and ramps. With an iconic knurled tread pattern with siping, the Maxxis Hookworm is a must for serious freestyle riders and allows for amazing straight-line performance and cornering control. Thanks to its high pressure rating at 110 PSI and it’s huge air volume, it also rolls fast and reduces the risk of pinch flats. Smooth Rides Without Flats Youth freestyle bikes are sized depending on the diameter of the wheel staring at 12” all the way through to 18”, at a 20” wheel the bike is considered an adult size. Adult freestyle bikes are sized on top tube length, a 18.5” top tube is extra small for younger teenagers who have just moved up to an adult bike, a 20” top tube is small, 20.5” a medium and anything over a 21” is considered large.
