Alienation recently released several folding cable tires. They are economical versions of our existing folding Kevlar models. Folding beads are much lighter than conventional steel beads and easier to install. They use a dual rubber compound for a prefect mix of efficiency, traction and durability. The center tread features a firmer rubber compound that boast faster rolling and increased durability, while the side knobs are composed of a softer, slower-rebounding rubber that improves control and grip.
What really sets these folding cable tires apart from folding Kevlar tires other than a 30+ gram weight reduction is the price. These new tires are a fraction of the price. Saving as much as 40%. Currently these tires can be purchased at your better Independent Bicycle Dealers or Dan’s Competition.
