Flat-free
tires aren’t new, however they weren’t widely used because of poor
stiffness and shock absorption, compared to the conventional ones. But
this Utah-based company claims to have found a solution to these
problems. The tires are made from polymeter blends that are said to
offer not only a perfect balance of cushion and resilience, but
durability as well. The product comes in two different shapes – tires to
be mounted on existing wheels with a lifespan of up to 3,100 miles, and
others, which replace the entire wheel set and last for up to 5,000
miles.
If that’s not enough, Nexo made their products from a single material, which makes recyclability really easy. Considering that 10,000,000 tons of bike tires and tubes are discarded every year, that’s certainly a step in the right direction.
