Compound

The Right Compound Makes Every Ride Feel Engineered for You.

The compound is the rubber formula inside your tyre. It determines how hard or soft the tyre feels, how much it grips in the wet and dry, how quickly it rolls, and how long it lasts before it wears out. Most tyre companies treat the compound as a technical footnote. At Hartex, it’s the starting point. Every Hartex compound is formulated with a clear purpose — because a tyre for a mountain trail should not behave like a tyre for a city road.

Compound Tyre types

Glide

Application: Commuter · Urban · Low Resistance

Roll Further. Work Less.

Glide is Hartex’s silica-led compound, developed for riders who cover distance every day. Silica reduces the energy lost between the tyre and the road — so more of your effort goes into forward momentum, not heat. You ride further on the same effort. Glide also performs in wet conditions, giving you confidence on slick urban surfaces.

Technical detail

Compound type: silica-formulated rubber. Primary benefit: reduced rolling resistance. Secondary benefit: wet traction. Recommended use: commuter, urban, road hybrid.

Pulse

Application: Performance · Road · Responsive

Fast When You Ask for It.

Pulse is built for riders who want a tyre that responds instantly. Engineered for higher performance road and road-hybrid applications, Pulse prioritises a quick, lively feel — a tyre that follows your input, not a second behind it. Whether you’re accelerating out of a corner or maintaining pace on a long flat, Pulse keeps your effort on the road.

Technical detail

Compound type: performance-grade rubber. Primary benefit: responsive ride and traction. Recommended use: road, road-hybrid, performance applications.

EnduraFlex

Application: Gravel · Urban Ride · Hybrid MTB · Durable

The Compound That Doesn't Give Up.

EnduraFlex is Hartex’s durability compound — developed for riders who put in the kilometres across mixed terrain. The formulation resists cracking and cutting under sustained load, making it the right choice for gravel, urban commuters on rough roads, and hybrid MTB riders. EnduraFlex doesn’t sacrifice flexibility for durability — it delivers both.

Technical detail

Compound type: durable, crack-resistant rubber formulation. Primary benefit: crack resistance and durability across mixed terrain. Secondary benefit: maintains flexibility under sustained use. Recommended use: gravel, urban ride, hybrid MTB.

TrailGrip

Application: MTB · Trail · High Grip

Grip That Decides the Trail, Not the Other Way Around.

TrailGrip is Hartex’s flagship MTB compound. Formulated for high-grip performance on demanding terrain — loose over hard, wet roots, rocky switchbacks — TrailGrip gives you the confidence to push where other compounds would compromise. When the trail gets unpredictable, TrailGrip stays in contact.

Technical detail

Compound type: high-grip MTB rubber formulation. Primary benefit: maximum traction on trail terrain. Recommended use: high-performance MTB tyres.

DualGrip

Application: MTB · Dual Compound · Shoulder Control

Two Compounds. One Tyre. No Compromise.

Some rides demand different things from different parts of the tyre. DualGrip uses two distinct compound formulations — a centre tread optimised for rolling efficiency and a shoulder compound optimised for grip in corners and on transitions. The result is a tyre that rolls well on the straight and grips hard when you lean.

Technical detail

Construction: dual compound — centre tread and shoulder tread use separate formulations. Primary benefit: rolling efficiency in the centre, cornering grip at the shoulder. Recommended use: high-performance MTB.

RoadPulse

Application: Road · Racing · Speed + Grip

Speed and Grip. Not a Trade-Off.

Road riding demands two things that usually pull against each other — speed and grip. RoadPulse is Hartex’s answer. Developed for 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm road tyres, RoadPulse is formulated to give you high-speed rolling with the grip to handle corners confidently. Designed for riders who train seriously or race, and for everyday fast riders who don’t want to compromise.

Technical detail

Compound type: road-specific performance rubber. Primary benefits: high-speed rolling efficiency and grip. Applicable sizes: 25mm, 28mm, 32mm road tyres.
