Next-Generation Compounds: Pulse and LSG
At the heart of this launch are two new compounds, carefully formulated to prioritize distinct riding experiences:
- Pulse Compound (Speed & Efficiency): A brand-new formulation designed for speed-focused gravel and BMX racing. Pulse combines exceptionally low rolling resistance with a tacky surface, delivering a fast, predictable feel. It is the ultimate choice for hardpack and fast gravel surfaces where quick acceleration is paramount.
- LSG Compound (Grip & Durability): Adapted from our World Championship-winning BMX compound, LSG is optimized for more demanding terrain. It prioritizes grip, durability, and control, offering enhanced traction, cut resistance, and resilience. This compound performs best in technical conditions, rougher gravel, and mixed-surface riding.
The All-New Tires: Quickstyk and Taistyk
Expanding the lineup to cover the fast and the unpredictable, Vee Tire Co. introduces two completely new tread patterns, both utilizing the speed-focused Pulse Compound as well as LSG Compound and featuring a folding bead. Both are available in classic Black or Sienna Sidewall.
- Quickstyk: (e.g., “quick-stick”) Designed for maximum speed and efficiency on firm surfaces. The Quickstyk utilizing the Pulse compound features a sleek profile and optimized tread pattern that minimizes rolling resistance on asphalt and hardpack while maintaining dependable grip in loose conditions. Ideal for road and fast gravel racing.
- Available Sizes: 26 x 2.10 | 27.5 x 1.75 | 650b x 50 | 700 x 45c | 700 x 50c
- Taistyk: (e.g., “tie-stick”) Engineered for rougher, more unpredictable gravel and hard-packed trails with the LSG compound. The Taistyk’s aggressive tread delivers maximum grip and control in dry, loose, and uneven conditions without sacrificing rolling efficiency for those long adventure rides.
- Available Sizes: 700 x 45c
Refreshed Classics: Rail Frenzy and Swift Frenzy
Vee Tire Co. has also updated two of its most trusted, timeless tread patterns with the rugged, yet race winning, new LSG Compound, ensuring dependable and speedy performance when the terrain gets tough. Both feature a folding bead and are available in Black or Sienna Sidewall.
- Rail Frenzy: Highly versatile and built for mixed terrain. Its adaptive tread pattern provides consistent, fast rolling grip across diverse surfaces, performing exceptionally well in loose gravel, mixed terrain, and on the trail with wet conditions.
- Available Sizes: 650b x 50 | 700 x 40c | 700 x 45c | 700 x 50c
- Swift Frenzy: Ready for pure adventure. A central V-shaped tread increases rolling efficiency, while raised side knobs and offset, direction-specific tread blocks offer a smooth transition to grippy edges. Fast enough for pavement, grippy enough for trail riding, and muddy singletrack.
- Available Sizes: 26 x 1.95 | 650b x 50 | 700 x 50c
Choosing Your Tread: The Terrain Guide
To help riders pinpoint the perfect tire, Vee Tire Co. has mapped the new lineup across the gravel spectrum:
