The root of the problem: air, rubber, and physics out of control.

A tire is, in essence, two things: an elastic containment element — the rubber casing — and a compressible element that fills it — the air.

Two materials with very different physical properties that work together to support the weight of the motorcycle, transmit traction, and absorb irregularities in the terrain.

The problem stems from the nature of the latter.

Rear tire bounce incurs three invisible costs:

1-Loss of traction, braking, and stability.

2-Wear on tires, drivetrain, and suspension.

3-Physical fatigue caused by vibration to your body.

We explain the total cost and its common origin.
