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.
