Popular tire combinations

4 popular Cross Country (XC) tire combinations

Cross Country (XC) biking is not only demanding on the rider, but also on the equipment. The right choice of tires is also important. The combination of front and rear tires plays a crucial role in ensuring the best grip, traction and efficient handling on different surfaces. Here are three popular cross country tire combinations that are often chosen by our riders:

1. Rail Rocco front - Rail Tracker rear
This combination is ideal for riders who ride both technical trails and fast, flowing routes. The Rail Rocco at the front provides excellent grip and stability in curves and on uneven terrain, while the Rail Tracker at the rear offers good traction on straights and low rolling resistance. This combination is particularly effective on dry to slightly damp surfaces where quick changes of direction and precise handling are required.

2. Rail Rocco front - Mission rear
Here, the snappy Rail Rocco at the front is combined with the versatile Mission at the rear. The Rail Rocco at the front enables aggressive cornering and gives the rider confidence on technical trails. The Mission at the rear is a true all-rounder that works on a variety of surfaces, from hard, dry ground to slightly muddy conditions. This combination is ideal for riders who want to move over changing terrain and always stay in control.

3. Mission front - Rail Tracker rear
This combination is aimed at riders looking for a good balance between grip and speed. The Mission at the front offers good all-round grip without increasing rolling resistance too much, which is an advantage on long climbs. The Rail Tracker at the rear is optimized for speed, but still offers sufficient traction for climbs and descents. This combination is perfect for dry to slightly damp trails where efficiency and speed are the priority.

4. Rail Escape front - Rail Tracker rear
The combination of the grippy Rail Escape at the front and the fast Rail Tracker at the rear is a great combination if you have to climb a lot. The Rail Escape on the front wheel, which is very grippy and designed for steering precision, offers optimal traction and control on technical sections in this configuration. The Rail Tracker on the rear wheel is designed for efficiency and lower rolling resistance, which targets propulsion and acceleration. This combination is particularly popular with cross-country riders who are looking for balanced performance on different terrains.
Well suited for lighter riders

Choosing the right tire combination is crucial to getting the most out of your cross country bike. Each of the combinations mentioned has its strengths and weaknesses, and the best choice depends on the specific conditions and preferences of the rider. Whether aggressive and technical or fast and flowing - with the right combination you are ready for every challenge.

4 popular E-MTB tire combinations

When it comes to e-mountain bikes (e-MTBs), the right tires are crucial for the riding experience and performance on different terrains. We present four popular combinations that are frequently used and complement each other perfectly:

1. Crown Gem front - Crown Gem e-Ctrl rear
This combination is ideal for riders looking for a balance between grip and speed. The Crown Gem offers excellent grip in corners and ensures a stable ride, while the Crown Gem e-Ctrl on the rear wheel is specifically designed for e-bikes and offers lower rolling resistance and a longer service life. Perfect for commuters.

2. Attack HPL front - Attack HPL e-Ctrl rear
This tire pairing is particularly suitable for aggressive rides on technical terrain. The Attack HPL on the front wheel ensures precise steering and control, while the Attack HPL e-Ctrl rear tire delivers stability and grip on difficult trails while promising less rolling resistance coupled with a longer service life.

3. Flow Snap front - Attack HPL e-Ctrl rear
This is a versatile combination, with the Flow Snap on the front wheel offering a high level of grip and control, especially on loose surfaces, thanks to its wide lugs. The Attack HPL e-Ctrl on the rear wheel complements this with its ability to provide reliable traction even in demanding situations.

4. Snap WCE front - Snap WCE e-Ctrl rear
This combination is ideal for riders looking for maximum performance on race tracks or demanding trails. The Snap WCE at the front is designed for fast, precise reactions, while the Snap WCE e-Ctrl at the rear offers the same high performance, but has been specially optimized for the needs of e-MTBs.

Each of these combinations is designed to maximize the performance and ride feel of an e-MTB and meet the different needs and preferences of riders.

Tips & Info

Technologies (casings, compounds, etc.)

VEE Tire Co. comes from a long tradition in the tire industry. The parent company, VEE RUBBER, has been producing OEM automobile, motorcycle and bicycle tires since 1977 and remains the leading manufacturer of rubber high performance tires in Thailand. VEE Tire Co benefits from this resource by leveraging research and development in other tire industries as well as the ability to quickly produce prototypes and innovative test concepts.

It's all about the mix

Please note: If you are using two different models on the front and rear wheels (e.g. Snap WCE and Flow R-Two as a bike park combination), then the rear tire should always have the harder rubber compound.
The compounds are sorted from soft to hard

Top40 Compounds (Top40)

From our Tackee Compound, the rider expects a slower rebound to maintain grip on roots and rocks. Then the Top 40 Compound was created to be the softest compound Vee Tire Co. has ever developed. More control, more comfort and more confidence on any terrain!

Tackee Compound (TC)

This compound is one of the softest compounds and makes for a fun tire as it sticks to all mountain and enduro segments. Unlike other soft compounds offered by competitors, the Tackee compound offers the smallest rebound for more control when downhill. This compound has a low hardness of 48 A.

Fast-50 Compound (Fast50)

Fast 50 represents the golden mean between high rolling speed and good
Cornering traction. Fast 50 is great for dry conditions and its versatility means this fast compound is ideal for use as a rear wheel on an enduro bike.

Multipurpose Compound (MPC)

The Multipurpose Compound offers the widest range of all Vee Tire Co materials as it is designed for all terrains. This compound allows for durability and extends the life of the tire with a durometer of 56A.

Dual Control Compound (DCC)

The Dual Control Compound features two types of materials for speed and control. With a hardness of 56A in the center and a lower 48A on the sides, this tire allows for fast rolling resistance with excellent cornering characteristics.​

Silica Compound (SC)

Silica Compound is a technology from the automotive and motorcycle industry that offers excellent performance even in colder conditions. This soft material maintains its low resistance and flexibility at all temperatures with a rating of 57 A on the hardness scale.

Energetic Compound (EnC)

The Energetic Compound has been specially developed for urban trekking. This compound is resistant to punctures and has a hardness of 60A. This allows excellent rolling resistance on both traditional and e-bikes, to conserve either your energy or that of your battery.​

E-Ctrl Compound (E-Ctrl)

The E-Ctrl Compound is our brand new eMTB compound that offers excellent rolling resistance at high speeds and exceptional cornering grip. E-Ctrl uses our efficient 60a Energetic Compound for the central tread, offering long life and lower rolling resistance, but with our race-proven Top 40 compound on the side knobs for cornering grip and predictability at the highest level.​

Low Specific Gravity Compound (LSG)

The Low Specific Gravity Compound is incredibly light. Designed for BMX and racing, it allows for fast speeds with a hardness of 66A.

Strong tire casings

The tire structure

A bicycle tire consists of three basic elements: the carcass, the bead and the tread.
The core of the tire determines the tire diameter and ensures that it sits securely on the rim. The core of the tire usually consists of a bundle of wire. In folding tires, a ring made of aramid fibers is used instead of wire.
The carcass is the “framework” of the tire. The textile fabric is coated with rubber on both sides and cut at a 45 degree angle.

Enduro Core

The 1-layer cover combined with reduced apex strength is the perfect weight compromise to meet the requirements of the Enduro and Super Trail category. The Enduro Core is the right choice to withstand descents while maintaining climbing properties.

GXE Core

Our 1.5-ply casing with Apex inserts, bead reinforcement and B-Proof Nano is the perfect blend of traction and weight for enduro and all-mountain riding.
The GXE Core was inspired by our successful Gravity and Enduro Core technologies, combining the best parts into a fast and agile construction.
Suitable for weekend bikers right up to the professionals of the Enduro World Series.

GravityCore

This complex casing combined with 2-layer and Synthesis technology offers three-layer protection. Gravity Core is the highest level of protection and is designed to remain agile enough for downhill riding, while still offering the highest level of durability.​

DH Core

Developed for the rigorous demands of the UCI World Cup, this complex carcass combines a 2-layer construction, bead reinforcement, apex inserts and our Synthesis sidewall technology for maximum protection.
The DH Core is designed to give riders confidence and maneuverability for downhill riding while providing ultimate durability.
If you are going for the ultimate groove, you should choose the DH Core.

Synthesis

This special fabric provides additional puncture and cut protection. Adapted from road tire technology, Synthesis is lighter than standard casing, improves performance and has a premium aesthetic appearance.​

B-Proof puncture protection

The B-Proof casing features a special material that provides additional protection without increasing weight. Almost identical to a fabric gasket, the belt is paper thin but has extreme strength. This flexible protection is ideal for riding in all conditions and prevents tears and punctures.​

The Override Technology

1. The Override carcass is 3 times stronger than our
B-Proof aramid belt and 2 times stronger than the
than the B-Proof+ aramid belt.
<br>2. Using a lower TPI value provides better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance.
<br>3. It is a little heavier, but since our target customers
If you are a rider with fast e-bikes with high-speed motors, this should not be noticeable.

TPI

In addition to the carcasses (cores) mentioned above, there are also various different fabric thicknesses available. The higher the TPI number, the thinner the wall and more flexible the tire. Thin-walled tires are lighter, have less rolling resistance, but are more prone to punctures.

Test results of the tire tests

Tire testing is a key component for mountain bike enthusiasts to evaluate the performance and versatility of different tire models. In reputable magazines such as MTB News, MTB Rider Mag and Dirtmountainbike, as well as other leading publications, these tests are carefully conducted to provide riders with an informed basis for making decisions.

These tests examine various aspects of tire performance, including traction on different surfaces such as mud, rock and forest floor, rolling resistance on different surfaces, handling in corners and on technical trails, and the durability and reliability of the tire in demanding conditions.

The tests in these magazines are not only informative but also inspiring as they showcase the latest innovations and developments in the mountain bike tire industry and help riders take their riding experience to the next level.

Differences between clincher, folding and tubeless tires

The different types of bicycle tires - clincher, folding and tubeless tires - each have specific characteristics and uses that are due to their design and function. Here are the main differences and characteristics:

Clincher

Characteristics:

  • Structure: There is a wire in the tire bead that gives the tire its name and holds it to the rim hook.
  • Weight: Higher weight compared to folding tires.
  • Compatibility: Optimized for use with conventional tubes and rims.
  • Puncture protection: Often provided with a reinforcing rubber layer.
  • Price: Cheaper than folding tires.

Advantages:

  • Cheap price.
  • Large selection.
  • Easy installation on conventional rims.

Disadvantages:

  • Heavier weight.
  • Not foldable.
  • Usually not tubeless compatible.

Folding tires

Characteristics:

  • Construction: Instead of a wire, flexible aramid fibers (e.g. Kevlar) are used in the bead, which makes the tire foldable.
  • Weight: Lighter than clincher tires, with a weight saving of about 50-100 grams.
  • Compatibility: Can be used with both tubes and tubeless if marked “Tubeless ready”.
  • Performance: Better driving characteristics due to the lower weight.

Advantages:

  • Lower weight.
  • Improved driving characteristics.
  • Easier to transport because it is foldable.
  • Mostly tubeless compatible.

Disadvantages:

  • More complex assembly for “tubeless ready” models.
  • More expensive than clincher tires.

Tubeless tires

Characteristics:

  • Construction: No tube required; the tire seals together with the rim.
  • Compatibility: Tires and rims must be marked as tubeless compatible (Tubeless ready, TLR).
  • Sealant: Use of sealant to seal small holes while driving.

Advantages:

  • Very good puncture protection, as no tube defects (e.g. snakebites) occur.
  • Lower weight as the hose is eliminated (up to 200 grams saved).
  • Best possible driving characteristics due to lower rolling resistance and the ability to drive with lower air pressure.

Disadvantages:

  • More complex conversion and assembly.
  • Regular maintenance required (replacement of sealant).

Conclusion of the comparison

  • Clincher tires: Ideal for everyday bikes and e-bikes in the entry-level and mid-range range, where robustness and low price are more important than weight.
  • Folding tires: Better suited for sporty riders who value low weight and high performance. Usually also tubeless compatible, which offers additional advantages.
  • Tubeless: Particularly advantageous for ambitious mountain bikers and riders who want to benefit from the best riding characteristics and very good puncture protection, but are willing to accept the higher maintenance costs.

The choice of tire type depends largely on the individual requirements and the area of ​​use of the bike.

The results of our tire test: performance, comfort, durability, value for money

Hey, you probably want to know how the VEE Tire Co tires performed, right? We put them through their paces. Well, in terms of performance, we were really impressed. The tires showed great grip on various surfaces - whether asphalt or gravel, they had real bite.

The tires also scored highly in terms of comfort. Even on bumpy roads, the ride still felt comfortable. Durability is another plus point. After intensive use, the tires still looked great, with no sign of early wear.

And now the best part: the price-performance ratio. You don't have to dig deep into your pockets for the quality that VEE Tire Co delivers. This makes the tires a real insider tip for anyone who values ​​quality and a good deal. In short, our test drive proved that you really can't go wrong with these tires!

Seven tips for the perfect MTB tire

Some people pay little attention to them, but tires are one of the most important components on a bicycle. The tire is the contact piece between the driver and the ground. They transmit braking forces, acceleration energy and changes of direction over a small area, about the size of a postcard. You usually don't even notice a good tire. A bad tire, on the other hand, not only leads to a lack of safety in bad weather conditions, but also often leads to a negative change in the handling of the bike.

We'll tell you what you need to consider when choosing the right tire besides the brand 😉.

  1. The size

In addition to the tire size in inches (e.g. 27.5 inches), the tire width is also crucial, as the rim, fork and/or rear triangle limit the selection. The tire size is stated either in inches (27.5 x 2.35) or in ETRTO (e.g. 60-584, European Tire and Rim Standard, European Tire and R in the T echnical Organization ). The ETRTO size designation indicates the width (60 mm) and the inner diameter of the tire (584 mm) - a clear designation that can be used to clearly assign the rim size.
The customs information, on the other hand, is not so clear and clear. 26 inches can be assigned different diameters depending on the type of bike (diameter 559 mm MTB, 571 mm triathlon and 590 mm Dutch touring bikes).
Customs details are more common in MTB sports, which is why they are also stated on all tires.

The inside diameter of the tire and the shoulder diameter of the rim must match so that the tire sits correctly on the rim - a tire with the ETRTO 37-622 fits, for example. B. on a rim 622 x 19C.
The tire width and the inner rim width must also match.

  1. profile

The profile determines the traction and rolling resistance. Therefore, city/trekking bikes usually have a more closed profile, as these are more advantageous on asphalt or other solid surfaces than MTB tires with an open profile.
These in turn excel on soft, loose surfaces. But here too, you have to pay attention to what and how you drive. In downhill/enduro sports, the cleats are larger and often more free-standing than in cross-country sports.
For SUV bikes, the MTB tires are designed so that the center profile appears more closed, while the outer lugs are free-standing to offer the best possible grip on terrain, especially in curves, while experiencing little rolling resistance on road surfaces.

  1. The mixture

Or compound. As a rule, different rubber materials are mixed together in order to reconcile the different properties of a tire, which often compete, and to find an optimal compromise. These properties are rolling resistance, grip, downforce and durability.

We use e.g. For example, our Dual Control Compound has a harder compound on the tread to ensure less rolling resistance and more durability and a softer compound on the side knobs to provide good grip in corners.

If you have two different tire models on the front and rear wheels, then the rear tire should always have the harder rubber compound.

  1. The carcass

When it comes to the tire casing, the casing, you will read information like 72 TPI (or EPI, Ends per Inch, Threads per Inch). This indicates the density of the carcass fabric. We offer casings from 24 up to 120 TPI.
The higher the TPI number, the tighter the mesh and higher quality a casing is. Finer casings offer lower rolling resistance and provide better puncture protection (more on that later). A 67 TPI carcass is considered the optimal compromise between low weight and greater robustness.

  1. The breakdown protection

As previously indicated, the carcass plays an important role. Higher thread count casings (higher TPI/EPI count) are harder to puncture. However, from a TPI number of around 127, the threads are too fine and therefore no longer as stable.

A puncture protection belt, we call it B-Proof, under the tread provides greater puncture protection. A rubber/aramid belt with a thickness of 3 or 5 mm is used here. This lies between the tread and the tube and therefore protects against a puncture, i.e. a puncture.
For some people it is also worth considering an insert, such as: B. the Mefo bicycle mousse.

  1. The air pressure

Occasionally, customers complain that tires become cracked. This is usually due to insufficient air pressure when storing the bike, because air pressure also plays a role here. If the tires are flat for months, the tire material is stressed and cracks form.
But of course the pressure is also crucial for driving behavior, which is why the air pressure should be checked regularly and corrected if necessary. If the pressure is too high, the tire will literally jump; if the pressure is too low, it will flex. The risk of a breakdown is also higher if the air pressure is too low. It is particularly important for sporty drivers to find out the right air pressure for their own driving behavior. Recommendations can be found on the tire sidewall.

Bluetooth tire pressure monitoring systems such as the AIRsistant , as we know them from cars, are now also entering the market. They are a worthwhile addition so that you can always travel optimally.

  1. Tube or tubeless

A question of philosophy. The hose can be easily replaced if it is broken, but you always have to have a replacement with you when touring.
Tubeless installation is a bit more complex and some people swear when changing the sealant. Tubeless tires offer less rolling resistance, higher grip and more puncture protection. Mountain bikers often ride tubeless without having to fear a “snakebite” in the tube, where the tube is damaged if the rim flanges puncture.

Ultimately, everyone has to decide for themselves whether they want to ride tubeless or tubeless. Like everything in life, both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
