JConcepts’ Reflex tyre is designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other options such as 3Ds and Hybrids. The Reflex has square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tyre for less wear and more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly. Ideal on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty the tyre releases and bites hard during corner exit for straight line acceleration which makes them perfect for mid motor buggies.. The blended tread to tyre body is supported with a generous radius which promotes “pin snap” and also resists tearing or separation. Horizontal traction bars connect several pins near the centre of the tyre which bonds a critical area for increased push at high-speed. The Reflex’, available as 2WD front, 4WD front and general rear variant, are built on the 60mm bead and carcass design making them interchangeable with all 60mm/2.4″ wheel combinations. The interior ribbing features the double-hatch pattern that helps maintain a comfy ride while each set of tyres includes the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.
