Preliminary Information:
VEE Tire Co. - Range 2016 Aftermarket
Please note: In order to meet the requests of the growing amount of riders looking specifically for a Tubeless Ready system, the majority of our tires are already produced in this fashion. However, we’re excited to announce that in the very near future most of our tires will be made to this standard, allowing our riders to experience a lack of friction between tire and inner tube (resulting in lower rolling resistance), more control and safety on the trail due to decreased air pressure, and an immediate liquid seal on punctures. Key Technology - Synthesis & Synthesis Nano: VEE Tire Co. has always prided itself on utilizing resources from its parent company, Vee Rubber, to capitalize on the latest in road and motorcycle technology. For the 2016 line, we are pleased to reveal our latest innovation - the Synthesis tire. First and foremost, this new development introduces the strongest sidewall on the market yet, with a durable construction that conquered test rides on ABSA Cape Epic’s toughest downhill trails with flying colors. As an added bonus, this feature is aesthetic as well, giving it a technical appearance and premium value. With noticeable success on trail, road, and gravel, VEE will be offering this advanced material in all segments. Fat Tire: The release of our Pure Silica compound heads off the first of many new Fat Tires and is available for the entire line. Far from just a color variation, this compound is certainly a game changer when riding on snow or icy tracks. Also the rolling resistance and noise have been greatly reduced. Our greatest offering for our Fat Tire segment though is variety and customization. Whether it’s a unique size, color or compound you’re looking for, you can now have it all. The first of these offerings is the new Snow Shoe 2XL - the first bicycle tire with a width of over 5 inches - available in 26x5.05. The extreme width of the 2XL floats over almoast anything therefore allowing you to go to places that where never previously possible. Snow Shoe tires will continue to be available in previous compound specifications of course, along with studded versions and sizing options in 26x4.8 and 26x4.5. Other options in fat tires include the already popular Bulldozer and Mission Command models. The Bulldozer is currently available in 26x4.7 and is versatile on all terrains - from snow to sand. Coming next season though, this tire will also be offered in 26x4.25 to accommodate all Fat Bike frames and hub widths. The Bulldozer is one of our fastest rolling full size fat tires. The Mission Command continues to be one of VEE Tire Co.’s most effective offerings, with the ability to traverse all terrains and conditions flexibly. Its popularity has initiated the release of this tire in 26x4.0 and 26x4.7. We’ve added green, orange and pink color ways for maximum customization, and even offer this tire in Fat Bike models of 24 and 20 inches for juniors. PLUS Size 29+ & 27.5+ VEE’s PLUS Size tires have caused quite a stir in the industry - being the first to
showcase on a specialty frame at Taipei and an early adapter in the segment entirely. These 29+ and 27.5+ sizes are currently available in the Trax Fatty line and are ready to ship now. For 2016 though, we will also be expanding our PLUS size offerings to include the Bulldozer and Crown GEM treads - and for the fastest rolling resistance in the segment—the Speedster line as well. VEE Tire Co. offers the largest selection of plus tires to cover all applications. Mountain Bike: VEE Tire Co. strives to provide tires that consistently resists punctures, cuts and sidewall damage overall. This year we partnered with the Kargo MTB Pro Team (RSA) and the Swedish Champion, UCI XC No. 9, Emil Lindgren to develop a lightweight Cross Country and Trail tire. We are now proud to introduce the Rail Storm—where the best technologies in lightweight and performance treads combine. All of our new MTB offerings will be produced as TLR V-0.2 tubelessready versions to guarantee convenient sealing and an easy ride experience. Be on the lookout for updates of our already popular originals as well, as the Rail Marathon, Mission and Galaxy tires will also be re-released in our newest casing options. Crown Series (Trail – All Mountain): Our Crown Series tires are unique in that they offer a mix and match option for rider preference. This customizability has proved incredibly popular with riders, allowing them to choose from three different tread patterns within one model line. The Crown GEM, “F” (Free) and “R” (Radius) are coming soon in new sizes and casings for Trail and All-Mountain including 27.5x2.25, and 29x2.2 for varied uses. The Crown series is also a favorite choice for OEM applications. Gravity (Enduro – Downhill): Our newest development in Downhill, the Flow Rumba joins the Masher to add to the our Enduro and Downhill Flow line. We created this new tire to accommodate our Swiss Downhill Syndicate and world class Endure riders with a completely new structure and compound makeup. We’ve tested this new Gravity Core construction and innovated a product that is incredibly durable while maintaining outstanding performance, and is now available in tubeless. Road – Cyclo Cross – Gravel: Our road tires are now available in 25mm to meet the newest demands of the market. However, always striving for new innovation, VEE Tire Co. now introduces a 28mm road tire as well. Each adds more comfort and stability to your ride, but without extra rolling resistance. Also in 2016, be on the lookout for new releases from VEE Tire Co. in response to the UCI’s new allowance of disc brakes. With more space available in a wider fork, we’ll be introducing new technology and product to maximize your ride accordingly.
City – Trekking: The Trekking market has demanded tires variety beyond the classic segment with the increasing popularity of E-Bikes. To answer this call, we now offer our Zilent, Easy Street and Baldy models in both varieties. BMX – Dirt Jump: These products are currently in development stage and limited edition sizes and products will be announced soon! VEE Tire Co. produces two of the most popular BMX tires worldwide. The Speedster and MK3.
