DUO Brand HSL (High Street Low) 20" Tire Clinchers

Product Overview

The DUO Brand HSL (High Street Low) 20" Tire is designed for maximum grip on street and park surfaces. The super-tacky rubber compound prioritizes traction over speed, making it ideal for riders who need reliable stick during technical tricks and aggressive riding. The low-profile design keeps rolling resistance minimal despite the grip-focused compound.

Key Features

• Super-tacky rubber compound – Formulated with high-grip polymers that maximize friction on asphalt, concrete, and transition surfaces. Increases confidence during lock-ins, slides, and direction changes at the cost of slightly higher rolling resistance compared to harder compounds.

• Low-profile design – Shallow tread depth minimizes rolling resistance and weight despite the thicker, stickier rubber. Balances grip with responsiveness, avoiding the sluggish feel of heavily treaded tires.

• 2.4" inflated width (61mm) – Wider than typical street tires, providing a larger contact patch for increased grip and stability during tricks. Extra width also improves cornering control on transitions without significant weight penalty.

• 21.2" inflated diameter (538mm) – Slightly larger rolling diameter increases top speed slightly and provides marginally more cushioning on impacts compared to lower-profile tires.

• Clincher construction – Standard hook bead design fits any 20" BMX rim with a clincher seat. Simple, reliable mounting with no special rim requirements.

• 65 psi maximum pressure – Higher pressure rating allows customization across a wide range. Run higher pressures (55–65 psi) for responsive feel, lower pressures (40–50 psi) for increased grip and cushioning.

• 24.5 oz weight – Heavier than minimal street tires due to the grip-focused compound and wider profile, but still lightweight enough for responsive trick performance.
