JConcepts Ellipse 2.2” silver compound buggy tyre

JConcepts have introduced their popular Ellipse 2.2” buggy rear tyre in silver compound. The Ellipse, named after the centre bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tyres such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The “Web” style tyre was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The centre section of the tyre is a home run utilising a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The Ellipse has already shown success in the hands of Ryan Maifield taking TQ at the Spring Indoor Nationals in Tacoma, Washington. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. In addition, the new silver compound is now available to further tune drivers to clay condition tracks and have already taken huge victory at the ROAR Nationals in the hands of Spencer Rivkin and Ryan Maifield. Included in each package, the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts known for their durable nature and gray colour complete the race tuned package.
