TIRES

MERRITT OPTION TIRE



The Option tire takes a new look at what makes a good street tire, and goes way beyond just making a tread pattern that looks good. Featuring our Slidewall Technology which is our own ultra-hard low friction compound that helps reduce drag on grinds and increase the life of the tire sidewalls plus a ton of other features. The center section of the tire is smooth, so it is nice and fast, but the tread is actually thick for this section. The thicker tread has the benefit of increased shock absorption and then abruptly tapers down to a thinner thickness. By having the tapered tread connect to the thick center section, it offers support so there is no squirm and the tire is stable and at the same time reduces the tire weight because there is no benefit to the thicker tread on those sections of the tire. 20″ x 2.35″

Weight: 27.4
Colors:Black, gum or blue

MERRITT BRIAN FOSTER FT1 TIRES



Trails nowadays are nothing like they used to be, very little pedaling and/or braking and the dirt is usually rock hard, it doesn’t make sense to mimic MX tires (that have to accelerate, brake and turn in soft dirt) with big knobs anymore and BF rides a mix of everything, so his tire needs to work well on everything. That lead to giving the FT1 a relatively smooth center section, to make the tire fast. Turning is when an increase in grip (instead of outright speed) is needed, lean the bike over in a turn and the micro-knobs come into play. The micro-knobs provide a perfect balance of surface area, stability and space in between for when the dirt might be a little soft still. The micro-knobs actually stick up above the main surface a super small amount, this allows them to sink into that slightly soft dirt and give an increase in surface area contact, but the amount they are raised doesn’t negatively affect stability or grip on hard surfaces. At the edges of the tread pattern are smooth tread blocks that help protect the sidewall on ramps and street. 20″ x 2.25″

The United Direct tyre is our ultra fast high pressure tyre that was designed and developed with input from our team riders. The directional pattern features a wider centre for improved balance and stability and the whole tyre is covered with a fine micro knurling which will grip all surfaces at speed. Look no further if you want something fast and grippy which is perfect for street, park and even at the trails when used on the rear. For the Direct 2.4 tyre we tweaked the pattern to make our fastest street ready tyre even faster. A solid centre section provides the ultimate in reducing rolling resistance, and wider/deeper groves to the edges of the tyre provide even more grip. true 2.4″ sizing, and compatible on all new United frames, forks and complete bikes.
