Supercross Blue Streak Tire – Press Release

April 25, 2005 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors 

“Supercross BMX is known for their frames, forks bars an cranks, but there is now something new to add to that product mix. Tires! Supercross pro riders had been complaining about the current selection of tires on the market, and we set out to design a new tire that is specific for today’s riding conditions. It is a non directional, low profile tread, high thread count, light weight sidewall tire, that feels at home on the paved turns of today’s world class tracks as well as your favorite local trail. So we introduce to you the Supercross Blue Streak!”"Current sizes 20×1.75 and 20×2.125 soon we will have 20×1.95 and 20×1.5 sizes and 24×1.75 as well. The 20×1.75 weighs 375 grams and the 20×2.125 is 460 grams. ( this is 50 grams lighter on the rear and 115 grams lighter on the front than the Maxxis Holy Rollers according to their website http://www.maxxis.com/products/bicycle/product_detail.asp?id=89, and 20 grams lighter than the IRC siren on the rear and the same weight on the front according to their website http://www.irctire.com/tires/bmx.html ) this means that they will get rolling faster out of the gate, and out of the turns. The most crucial weight on the bike is outer rotating weight. It is a Multi surface tread pattern that wraps the full contour of the tread, it is a non directional with a high thread count on the sidewall so it is light and flexable without being wimpy and wanting to fold away. Due to its low profile tread it works well in all conditions. MSRP on the tires is $18.95 and should be available at your finer BMX shops now.
