Description

The Tioga PowerBlock BMX Race Tyre is crafted to maximize pedal power efficiency, ensuring faster rolling with minimal energy loss. It features a steel bead and a robust sidewall for enhanced durability. The tyre balances performance and value, with a unique texture pattern on the sidewall for abrasion protection without compromising flexibility. Its distinct 3-stage tread zones further enhance its standout performance. SKU: TITY017-08-BLK.

Key Features

• The Centre Row PowerBlock: During acceleration, heavy pedaling torque is transferred to the center tread zone of the rear tire. If these center knobs are too small or tall, they will flex or compress more and stick to the ground longer before take-off, wasting energy. Conversely, if knobs are too big or short, the tire may slip under heavy torque before regaining traction, slowing you down. Each Power Block is proportionally sized to handle the torque without sticking and is perfectly balanced with the proper height to minimize slipping while maintaining low rolling resistance after take-off.
• The Transition Knobs: These are substantially smaller than the center blocks and are in exact proportion to them. The transition knobs are designed to deform slightly at lean angles greater than 15 degrees. This deformation or compression is the rubber "sticking" to the ground, akin to traction. They are positioned at a 45-degree angle relative to the center knobs to help maintain forward momentum during side-to-side transitions and cornering.
• The Outer Knobs: About half the length of the transition knobs, the outer knobs are designed for maximum compression and traction at lean angles greater than 25 degrees. Typically not needed during a clean race, but if things get messy, the outer knobs will keep tracking during aggressive maneuvering and cornering, giving you every last bit of grip to get you across the finish line faster.
