Here’s some good news I spotted over on The Merged. Simone Barraco’s signature Strada tire is now available in a tan wall option! Hit up your favorite shop or mail-order to pick some up. If they don’t have any, tell them to get ahold of Sparky’s Distribution!
The Chase Hawk and Aaron Ross signature tires from Odyssey are now available in the new BIG LOGO sidewall versions. Get all the details by clicking here!
Here’s another sneak peek we spotted on The Merged. It looks like Chase DeHart’s signature tire will be coming out in a 20 x 2.40″ version in September with a gum rub version later in November. This one features a smoother tread for less rolling resistance and grippier sides for more grip while ripping around turns. What do you think?
Last time I checked, tires are a pretty important part on a BMX bike. Not only do they keep you rolling, but it’s one of the easiest things to change on your bike that can make the entire feel of the bike ride different. Over the years we’ve seen tires smoother than your smoking hot sisters butt to some really agressive tires with more knobs than you know what to do with. We’ve also seen tires go from skinny little 20 x 1.95″ all the way up to 20 x 2.35″ (and even more recently 2.40″) monster truck sizes. One thing we haven’t seen up until recently is something that also helps with safety. Fit recently released their Night Vision version of their popular F.A.F tires that not only will help keep you rolling smooth, but they also have reflective sidewalls that helps make you stand out to car lights and looks pretty rad too. I figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at these guys, so let’s get into it.
Here’s a rad new promo video from Eclat featuring their new Ridgestone tires and Sebastian Anton putting them to good use! Hit that play button for a closer look at the tire and some real good clips!

Tires are tires right? We think not. Long gone are the days when any old tire will do and today more than ever, the rubber that rolls you around needs to be exactly what you desire.
At Eclat we went directly to the team first, we asked them what kind of tire they would like and we worked closely to create ‘The Ridgestone’. Its not just a nice looking tire either, it’s a perfect mix of tread amount, slick and overall thickness. It’ available in two versions — a slick version and a knobbly version for more grip.
It’s ideal for street riding or ramps and tough enough to take the strain these days. Nathan was involved in the early stages of creation and the initial drawings, he bounced ideas back and forth with Shane to think up the name and together with our product designers we ended up with what we think is one of our best and most progressive tires yet.“
Head over to The Merged to get the low down on the new Big Logo tires from Odyssey! I’m digging it. Kind of reminds me of a bigger version of the old Tioga logos.
It looks like S&M Bikes are bringing back their Mainline tire… and they aren’t screwing around. Head over to The Merged to get the low down on these beasts!
