Pretty wild, who's getting some?

 

[Ritz413]

It's an interesting concept....I am so getting some!!!!!



Right after I become a sponsored competitor and they are free...

 

[RudyF6]

Just right for your $4000 Origin...

Blegh.

I'll keep sticking Harbor Freight lead to my rims and outcrawling the brass boys

Interesting idea, but not quite there. Certainly not a big enough difference to justify the expense.

Also they are basically turning your tires into low pros reducing the ability to conform to rocks thus nullifying the lowered center of gravity

Good point.

Except the tire sidewall height doesn't change though. What is possibly happening, is the foam is likely being compressed slightly which would change the compliance of the tire as you mention. No way to know without comparing them to your current internal wheel rings.

It's a solution looking for a problem if you ask me.

I'd rather just run brass knuckles and keep my tire flex. But the innovation is very cool.

If you fill 1/2 the tire with hard plastic, the soft sidewall doesn't matter unless you can get hard plastic to conform with the tire

no, none, zip ,zero......looks interesting though. unless someone in my friend group gets some.........

Adam at Cape Crawlers does a good video about them, with an appearance from Jason of Boomslang Suspension.

But it still doesn't turn a regular size tire into a low-pro tire was my point.

Just like every other hobby. Money pits


and I love it!!!
