An American company recently announced their new product that will revolutionize the way we make our tires. This company has created essentially airless bike tires. They call their product Nexo.
More Information
This company has designed a new way to make tires that cannot be popped. It does this by using its new material that is patented by their partner company Otrajet Inc. This material is called Nexell. The video above offers a bit of an explanation of how the tires are created using this new material.
This material creates an almost sponge-like surface for the outside of the tire, allowing for it to compress easily and not pop when punctured. Instead of popping, the polymer just expands to fill the gap. The material does not reattach itself when punctured, but a hole does not hinder usage of the tire.
One of their main selling points is that since their tires are pop proof and more resistant to normal wear and tear, they are more eco friendly. The tire’s components are also easily separated allowing for easy recycling when the time does come to replace them. The reduction of impact on the environment is one of the company’s primary goals.
Where Can You Learn More About Nexo?
You can learn more about them on their website or on their Kickstarter campaign. Their campaign is still active for a couple of days. They have raised over double their original goal of $24,597. As per usual, you can donate various amounts and receive gifts based on these donations. They expect to be shipping by January, 2017.
