Italian company GRP introduce their new line of tyres for 1/5th scale on-road bikes. Coming for the front and the rear they offer an optimised design without sharp edges in order to maximise the side bite and traction available. A newly designed carbon fibre reinforced rim does away with the need to run inserts for improved precision and a very true running wheel. A WMS called weight system allows to increase the weight of each wheel by using two, four or six stainless steel rings to up the rotation mass for improved stability and traction on low to medium bite tracks. The tyres are available in a medium, soft and super soft compound pre-glued on two different design wheels or as rubber only.
