Odyssey BMX – Path Pro Tire

April 5, 2017

The new Path Pro Tire from Odyssey has arrived…

It looks like Odyssey have decided to revive their classic Path Tire with a new, modern look! The new Path Pro Tire is based off the classic from the early 2000’s with a similar directional tread pattern and smooth center for less rolling resistance and micro-knurling on the side blocks for extra traction. This tire is made from a proprietary rubber compound that has improved grip and wear resistance with dual ply sidewalls for increased strength.

The Path Pro Tire comes in 2.25″ and 2.40″ sizes, has a 100 Max PSI rating, weighs in at 26.7 oz. (2.25″) and 27.8 oz. (2.40″) with black for the only color option for now. You can pick the tire up for $25.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now.

Since this is an actual concern for some of you… The Path Pro Tire DOES squeak.

Talk about a blast from the past.. You could find Path tires on my bike back in the day, so this is pretty rad to see it making a comeback with a modern twist. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

Sneak Peek: GT Bicycles – Junk Food Pool Tires

March 29, 2017

Here’s something we’ve been waiting to tell people about for about two years now. GT Bicycles have been working on a new way to print designs on the sidewalls of tires for a while now, and they have decided to do their popular Junk Food pattern on the side of their Pool Tires. We spotted these on the Downtown BMX Instagram a little bit ago and were pumped to finally see the finished product. We’re working on getting full details and some better photos, so we’ll be doing an updated post soon. It would appear that they are available now, though!

UPDATE: We got our hands on a high res photo of the tire for you to check out! We would assume these will be available in 2.10″ and 2.30″ sizes since that is what the Pool tire is currently available in.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

BSD just released a new Bike Check with Alex Donnachie and his current signature ALVX setup in yellow. This also doubles as a little sneak preview of Alex’s new Donnastreet tire that will be available starting in April.

Eclat – Mirage Tire Promo

March 8, 2017

Eclat coming through with a very short but sweet promo featuring Jordan Godwin and their new Mirage Tire that is available now! Hit play for a look at the tire and a couple riding clips, then get full details on the tire right here!

“Introducing the Mirage tire, a new high-performance BMX tire designed over the course of the past year with the eclat PRO team.

Something totally unique in our product line and the BMX market overall, the Mirage tire might just be the most advanced tire we’ve ever designed. Built on the premise of a super light tire that was strong enough for the toughest street riders on the team, the Mirage uses a high-quality 120tpi casing and a specially designed dual compound tread that is smooth in the center, but with plenty of grip on the outer tread for traction and control whilst cornering and carving.

Available now in 2.35″ and 2.25″
Regular wire bead, and Kevlar folding bead options also available.”

Sneak Peek: Wethepeople – 22″ Tires

February 25, 2017

If you’re into 22″ bikes, we have some good news. The guys at QBMX dropped a sneak preview of a new 22″ BMX tire that Wethepeople will be releasing soon. Not much for information on the tire yet, but we have a feeling that there will be more for a 22″ bike beyond just the tires coming from Wethepeople. I mean, why would they only release a 22″ tire? We’ve been seeing more brands release 22″ products since the guys at Faction kicked things off a few years ago, and it seems like things are starting to pick up for that particular size of BMX bike. We’ll keep you posted once we hear more about these tires from Wethepeoeple. We can’t imagine it’ll be too long if they were down to let this drop online!
