Now that industry veteran Jim Wannamaker is designing treads for this rapidly-expanding brand, they’re making a huge push into the U.S. market. Almost all of their treads are available in a huge range of sizes and nearly all retail for just $40. The brand is not without some pedigree, as they manufacture Pacenti’s new 650b tires.
Set to debut this year are the Fluid and Flow all-mountain tires, pictured at the top, which are available in 26 and 650b sizes.
The treads pictured here, the 6, 8, 10, and 12, share a similar design with different sized knobs. They are available in sizes ranging from 700×35 for cyclocross to 650b and 29-inch.
And not all the treads are designed for shredding. These V-Twins add some style to your ride. Wannamaker told me they are getting demand from distributors who are seeing folks who buy 29ers from big box stores and want something more road-worthy.
