Maxxis

Re-Fuse Dual compound/MaxxShield/TR Tire

Maxxshield technology is a protective layer integrated into the tire's construction that significantly enhances its resistance to punctures and damage. This means that tires with Maxxshield are better equipped to handle rough terrains and sharp objects, providing you with a safer and more reliable riding experience.

TPI refers to the number of threads in a one-inch section of the tire's casing. A higher TPI typically results in a lighter and more flexible tire, which can improve ride quality and comfort. Understanding TPI helps you choose a tire that balances durability and performance based on your riding style.

PSI measures the air pressure within your tires. Keeping your tires inflated to the recommended PSI ensures optimal performance, safety, and efficiency while riding. Under-inflated tires can lead to poor handling and increased wear, while over-inflated tires can cause a harsh ride and increased risk of blowouts.

A clincher tire is designed to fit onto a specific type of rim, featuring a bead that hooks onto the rim for easy installation and removal. Unlike tubular or tubeless tires, clinchers are user-friendly and widely used, making them a popular choice for many cyclists. Understanding this helps you select the right tire for your bike setup.

The bead is the part of the tire that secures it to the rim of the wheel. Tires with a carbon bead provide a strong and reliable fit, ensuring that the tire stays in place during rides. Knowing about the bead helps you understand how tires fit and function, which is crucial for safe and effective cycling.

To determine if your tires are suitable for your riding conditions, consider factors like the tire's construction (such as Maxxshield technology), TPI, and whether they are clincher or another type. Additionally, check the recommended PSI for your tires and ensure they match your riding style and the terrain you plan to tackle. This knowledge will help you make an informed decision when purchasing tires.
