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.
