Alright BMX riders, listen up! If you're serious about your track performance, the Maxxis Torch DC SW Tire is what you need. Originally designed for modern BMX racing, this tire literally brings the heat to your competition. We're talking lightweight construction that doesn't hold you back, with a grooved slick center tread that rolls fast on those straight sections. But here's the cool part – textured cornering knobs give you that grip when you're leaning into turns, so you can maintain speed without washing out. This specific model is the 20x1 1/8 size (ETRTO 28-451), built with a 60 TPI casing and a wire bead. It's a dual compound tire, meaning different parts of the tread are formulated for specific performance – longevity in the center, grip on the sides. And you can pump it up to a max of 85 PSI for that super firm, fast-rolling feel. Maxxis makes these in 20\, 24\, and 29\ sizes, but this one's your go-to for standard BMX wheels. Whether you're hitting the local track, racing competitively, or just want a high-performance tire for street riding that can handle some serious punishment, the Torch is built to light up your ride. It's that perfect balance of low weight, durability, and the traction you need to push your limits.
