Box One™ 120 TPI Folding Tires
Are you fast enough?

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.

“Box One tires were created out of the necessity of two important features needed when racing BMX: (1) fast starts without slipping and (2) turning capability,” says Toby, President at Box. “We added 120 TPI and a folding bead to make the lightest tire possible.”

Features and benefits include:

• 120 TPI High-Density Casing
• Aramid Folding Bead
• High-Traction Directional Grooves for Starting Gate Grip Point
• Low Rolling Resistance Center Strip Chevrons
• Countless Ramped Hexagonal Directional Knobbies

Box Two™ 60 TPI Wire Bead Tires might be the wise choice for athletes looking for
performance but don’t need all the bells and whistles. You’ll still get Box One’s super-refined
tread pattern and exotic compound but will have to live with a little more rubber in the casing
and steel as the bead material. However, the trade-off comes with one benefit — a longer
service life.

Features and benefits include:

• 60 TPI High-Density Casing
• High-Tensile Steel Wire Bead
• High-Traction Directional Grooves for Starting Gate Grip Point
• Low Rolling Resistance Center Strip Chevrons
• Countless Ramped Hexagonal Directional Knobbies
• Available in 26-inch and 29-inch for the Big BMX Bike guys, such as 80s BMX Craig,
  Harry Leary, and others.

Box One and Box Two tires are available in all sizes. They will be shipping the week of June 13,
2022. For more information, visit boxcomponents.com/collections/tires
