L3R™: Low Rolling Resistance Rubber is a lightweight compound designed to roll fast. L3R simultaneously reduces weight, increases traction, and decreases rolling resistance, leading to an efficient transfer of power to the ground, and quick acceleration. The net effect is a higher power to weight ratio for the rider – ride faster, longer, with less output.

Dual Compound: Many Syncros tires are offered with a Dual Compound tread pattern, featuring a harder, faster rolling tread compound down the center section, which transitions into a softer, traction oriented compound on the edges of the tire. This results in a tire that accelerates like a top fuel drag racer for straight line power, but grips like duct tape in the corners, allowing you to carry more speed when the tire is upright, and then get way past your normal comfort zone for hard cornering.

Stick It™: Tested and proven on the North Shore, Stick It rubber was developed for superior traction in the worst conditions thanks to a super slow rebound compound that allows the tire to adhere to the trickiest wet or dry surfaces and obstacles you’ll encounter. This slow rebound characteristic, called damping, gives the tire tread the ability to conform to surfaces without “bouncing” or being deflected, giving you a tire that conforms and adheres to minute changes in terrain, increasing steering precision and control.

Double D™: A totally new concept in front/rear tire design, Double D means that the front and rear tires have different densities of Stick It rubber: the front tire’s compound is 15-20% “softer” enhancing its ability to steer and track and providing pinpoint precision, whereas the firmer rear tire’s compound is more durable while still providing great acceleration and braking performance. The result is a tire combo that delivers all the performance demanded by today’s top riders, with increased durability even under heavy bike park or shuttle run use.

Bead Insert™ and CAP™ Technology: Two tire casing technologies are uniquely combined in the BHT to prevent pinch flats. One is Bead Insert™ and the other is CAP™ technology. The Bead Insert is a high-density rubber lip that, when compressed, creates an “envelope” in the tire casing that cushions the tube and prevents contact with the bead of the rim. When forced into a pinch-flat-producing situation, the Bead Insert envelope disperses the impact evenly over a larger area, resulting in far fewer pinch flats due to ‘snake bite’. CAP is a high-density layer that is added to the tire casing under the tread. This CAP resists punctures and also cushions the tube should it contact sharp objects in a ‘bottom out’ condition. Bead Insert and CAP technology combine to make one of the most flat resistant casings on the market.
