Tioga Fastr-X Blk Lbl Tire – 120 TPI – Folding Bead

Product Overview The Tioga Fastr-X Blk Lbl is a durable, versatile BMX race tire combining speed and control with enhanced puncture protection. Strategically positioned Grip-Pods paired with multi-faceted Nano Knobs on shoulders and sides deliver aggressive cornering traction, while chemically etched central tread enhances friction for power transfer. The addition of PneuMax high-pressure coating and FAvntGUARD cut protection layer increases durability without sacrificing the lightweight 120 TPI Cyclex casing and folding bead construction.

Key Features

• Strategic Grip-Pod Placement – Raised tread elements positioned across shoulders and sides maximize cornering grip when pushed to limits; pods remain passive during straight-line acceleration to minimize rolling resistance
• Multi-Faceted Nano Knobs – Textured knob surfaces on shoulder sections provide micro-grip across varied track surfaces and intermediate conditions; faceted design increases contact area without proportional weight gain
• Chemically Etched Central Tread – Chemical etching enhances friction on the center band, improving power transfer during hard acceleration and gate starts while maintaining low rolling resistance
• PneuMax 110 PSI High-Pressure Coating – Internal pressure-resistant coating strengthens sidewalls and bead area, enabling safe operation at elevated pressures and reducing risk of pinch flats during hard cornering
• FAvntGUARD Cut Protection Layer – Reinforced cut-resistant layer under tread surface protects against sharp objects and track debris without adding significant weight; extends tire lifespan in training and racing
• Cyclex 120 TPI Ultralight Casing – High thread-per-inch count creates supple sidewalls that absorb track imperfections; reduces rotational mass for acceleration while remaining responsive
• Soft UTC Rubber Compound – Soft formulation maximizes grip across hard-pack, slick, and intermediate track surfaces
• Folding Bead Construction – Lightweight folding bead reduces unsprung weight; resists pinch flats and bead unseating; enables compact transport
• Versatile Multi-Surface Design – Engineered for racing across hard-pack, slick, and mixed track conditions without requiring tire changes

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

• Fits: 20" BMX race wheels; available in three widths to accommodate various rim internal widths
• Best For: Versatile BMX racers seeking durability with speed and control; riders training intensively or racing multiple events without frequent tire replacement; riders on rough or debris-laden tracks
• Ideal Riders: Intermediate to advanced 20" racers; competitive riders prioritizing tire longevity without sacrificing performance; riders valuing cut protection and reliability
• Wheel Position: Both front and rear—no position restriction; consistent performance either position
• Inflation: Up to 110 PSI maximum; PneuMax coating supports high pressures for hard cornering and power starts
• Not Recommended For: Riders prioritizing absolute minimum weight (S-Spec version lighter); off-road, street, or park riding; exclusive smooth-surface racing where durability additions are unnecessary

Size Selection Three size options optimize for different needs: 20x1.85" for maximum grip and stability with wide-rim compatibility, 20x1.75" for balanced performance, and 20x1.60" for narrower rims and slightly reduced weight. Choose based on rim width and track conditions.

Performance Notes Blk Lbl adds durability and cut protection to the proven Fastr-X Grip-Pod and Nano Knob design. PneuMax high-pressure coating enables confident hard cornering and aggressive gate starts without pinch-flat risk. FAvntGUARD protects against track debris and sharp objects common in training environments. This tire suits riders who race frequently and value tire lifespan alongside performance.

Durability Note Cut protection layer and high-pressure coating extend tire life in demanding conditions. Regular inspections still recommended, but this tire tolerates rough tracks and extended use better than lightweight S-Spec versions.
