After you check out the video, learn more about the tire down below, along with a look at a few photos giving you a good look at what this tire has to offer. Available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Eclat BMX worldwide now.

“As soon as Ty Morrow joined the Éclat family in 2017, we started work on his signature tire. Creating a tire that could hold up to one of the most powerful and demanding riders in the game was the ultimate test in design and allowed us to really push the boundaries of how dialed a BMX tire could become.

Working together with one of the best tire manufacturers in the world, the Morrow Tire features a fast-rolling, but incredibly grippy tread pattern that was designed to shred it on all terrains. We used the best quality rubber compound available and backed it up with a high-performance tire casing to ensure that the tire could hold up to huge impacts, grind damage hangups and just about anything that could happen whilst out in the streets.

Available in 2.40″ in Black and Forest Green.
