BMX: (1) fast starts without slipping and (2) turning capability," says Toby Henderson, President at Box. "We added 120 TPI and a folding bead to make the lightest tire possible."
Features and benefits include:
● 120 TPI High-Density Casing
● Aramid Folding Bead
● High-Traction Directional Grooves for Starting Gate Grip Point
● Low Rolling Resistance Center Strip Chevrons
● Countless Ramped Hexagonal Directional Knobbies
Box Two™ 60 TPI Wire Bead Tires might be the wise choice for athletes looking for performance but don't need all the bells and whistles. You'll still get Box One's super-refined tread pattern and exotic compound but will have to live with a little more rubber in the casing and steel as the bead material. However, the trade-off comes with one benefit — a longer service life.

Box Components (Box) is pleased to announce its newest BMX race tires product line. Box
One™ 120 TPI Folding Tires were engineered with a minimalist approach to hit lofty goals for
weight, traction, rolling resistance, and rebound. At its heart is a super-supple 120TPI casing
where we forced in as much rubber displacing nylon as possible. Skin walls are employed to
reduce drag and further reduce weight. We flanked the high-density casing with a tightly packed
hoop of aramid fibers. Finally, we draped this all with BMX race-specific tread that transitions
from a center band with a large contact patch to unidirectional tactile knobbies on the sides.
This aggressive combination allows for maximum traction out of the gate, immense adhesion in
the corners, and low rolling resistance in the straights. A state-of-the-art mixture of compounds
is used in various areas of the apex, wall, bead seat, and center – with higher silica content in
the tread to again remove more weight.
"Box One tires were created out of the necessity of two important features needed when racing
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
