Maxi Grip
“Maxigrip”compound with a unique blend of polymers with select fillers& chemicals for high performance. In combination with contour of the tyre and the pattern on the tyre surface, Hartex tyres are designed for superior performance"
Tubeless Ready
"Tubeless bicycle tires are a type of tire that doesn't require an inner tube to hold air. Instead, the tire forms an airtight seal with the rim. A liquid sealant is typically used inside the tire to automatically seal small punctures and to ensure an airtight seal between the tire and rim. Tubeless technology, first popular in car and motorcycle tires, has become increasingly common in bicycle tires, particularly for mountain biking, gravel riding, and other off-road disciplines where the ability to run lower tire pressures without risk of pinch flats is a significant advantage."
Puncture Guard
"Puncture during riding is an annoying situation and kills the pleasure of riding a bike. We manufacture puncture resistant tyres using any one or combination of the following technologies:
- Quality of the rubber compound and its gauge.
- Additional layers of textile below the tread pattern.
- Higher textile density of up to 60TPI.
- Protective Rubber Belt – containing highly elastic rubber below the tread".
Natural
Natural rubber tubes have excellent elasticity, allowing them to handle the variations in tire pressure that come from hitting bumps in the road. However, they are less resistant to punctures and often lose air more quickly than other materials
Butyl
This synthetic rubber is the most commonly used material for bicycle tubes due to its excellent air retention and good puncture resistance. Butyl tubes are generally heavier than those made from other materials.
Latex
Latex tubes offer lower rolling resistance and are lighter than butyl rubber tubes, potentially making them a good choice for racing or performance-oriented riding. However, they don't hold air as long as butyl rubber tubes and need to be inflated more frequently.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
TPU tubes are lightweight and resistant to punctures, but they don't retain air as well as butyl rubber tubes. They are often more expensive than butyl or natural rubber tubes.
ETRTO
This system is becoming more widely used due to its precision and clarity. It expresses the width of the tire and the diameter of the wheel in millimeters. So, a tire size would be written as 37-622 where 37 is the width of the tire in millimeters and 622 is the diameter of the wheel's inner rim where the tire sits (also known as the bead seat diameter), also in millimeters.
French system
The French system, also known as the metric system, uses millimeters to measure the width of the tire, while the diameter of the wheel is still expressed in inches. An example would be 700x23 where 700 is the outer diameter of the tire in millimeters, and 23 is the width of the tire in millimeters.
British system
The British system uses inches to denote the diameter of the tire. For example, a common mountain bike tire size would be written as 26 x 2.2, where the first number (26) represents the diameter of the tire in inches, and the second number (2.2) represents the width of the tire, also in inches.
Inner tubes
This system is becoming more widely used due to its precision and clarity. It We at Hartex Rubber are committed to providing high-quality, durable bicycle tires and inner tubes, manufactured to fit a broad range of sizes. We ensure that all our products meet the highest standards, providing you with a smooth, safe, and enjoyable ride. expresses the width of the tire and the diameter of the wheel in millimeters. So, a tire size would be written as 37-622 where 37 is the width of the tire in millimeters and 622 is the diameter of the wheel's inner rim where the tire sits (also known as the bead seat diameter), also in millimeters.
Tyre Pressure
The correct tire pressure for bicycle tires varies widely depending on factors such as the type of bike, the weight of the rider, the tire size and design, and the riding conditions.
