Cycling Tire Technology

An in-depth look at the development and testing of the what makes the difference of a quality tire.

Tire Compounds

Different compound use for different condition. Bikes, terrains, countries and customer requirements, we offer variousof compound to our global market. Also we care about REACH, RoHS, CPSP and Phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP) for our customers with clean and environmentally friendly compounds.

Superior Compounds

Adventure: AM/ENDURO tire used by dual compound technology on tread. This rubber combination designed for dirt and soft terrain.
Jet: Synthetic compound for cross country tires and sporty road tires, it depends on sporty condition to develop this special purpose formula.
Snow Ball: Both toughness and elasticity, a special formula for snow and spike tires. Additional low temperature test in lab and outdoor already passed and approved to serve.
E-Power 25km/h, 50km/h:  Upgrade original tread compound to compatible with E-MTB tires and E-City bike tires, it would be noted E-25 and E-50 on the SPEC table as we recommend to use on e-power bike.

Tire Type

TT: Tube type, regular pneumatic type used on bicycles tires mostly.
TR: Tubeless Ready, combination of doublewall rim, special rim tape, sealant and TR tire could enjoy the perfect feeling from cycling without tube.
TL: Tubeless, precise tire engineering assembled on special rim could be a best rolling system. Additional sealant will help anti-puncture and imperfect assembling.

Shield Protection

3MM/7MM is our actual center thickness of anti-puncture rubber, Good rolling performance with the high modulus rubber that optimizes long trip and daily use. Now we provide lots of sizes which adopt this construction for long trip and daily commuting.
