MAXXIS Torch EXO 120 TPI 20´´ x 2.20 Urban Tyre
Unleash explosive speed and precision with the MAXXIS Torch EXO 120 TPI tyre, engineered for victory on the race track and dominance in the urban landscape. As Maxxis states, “The Maxxis Torch is designed specifically for racing on today’s paved BMX tracks.” This purpose-built design delivers a lightweight, fast-rolling experience that will give you the competitive edge when every fraction of a second counts. While born from BMX racing, its exceptional performance characteristics make it a premier choice for high-performance Urban Cycling, pump tracks, and skateparks.
Experience the perfect fusion of speed and control. The Torch features a lightly grooved, slick centre tread that drastically reduces rolling resistance on hardpack and paved surfaces, allowing for blistering acceleration and effortless momentum. As you lean into corners, the tyre’s side knobs engage to provide steadfast, predictable grip, inspiring confidence to push your limits. This dual-purpose tread design ensures you can fly down the straights and carve through turns with unparalleled stability.
This model is built on a high-performance 120 TPI casing, which offers a significantly more supple and responsive ride feel compared to lower TPI options. This lightweight construction allows the tyre to conform better to the riding surface, enhancing traction and comfort while minimising rotational weight for quicker handling. The addition of EXO Protection on the sidewalls provides a crucial layer of defence against cuts and abrasions, ensuring durability without compromising the tyre´s flexibility and performance—a must-have for navigating unpredictable city streets or aggressive track racing.
The Folding bead further reduces weight compared to a traditional wire bead and makes the tyre easy to transport and install. As a Clincher tyre, it is compatible with the vast majority of standard rims, offering straightforward setup and maintenance. This specific version is a high-volume 2.20 wide tyre designed for 20´´ wheels, with an ETRTO of 56 – 406, providing a large contact patch for superior traction and a cushioned ride over minor imperfections.
