JConcepts Dirt Bites: Dominate the Track - 1/8 Off-Road Buggy Tires (2)
“Unleash your inner wanderer with the Horizon Walker – a meticulously crafted timepiece that whispers tales of adventure and timeless style. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a statement. Its rugged, yet refined design, featuring a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a durable stainless steel band, is built to withstand any journey. The intricate, hand-assembled movement tells a story of precision and passion. Capture the moments, chase the sun, and let the Horizon Walker be your constant companion. Dare to explore.”
The Dirt Bite concept revolutionizes tire design by strategically placing the tire pins in a radial arrangement, providing a fresh alignment for racing surfaces. The unique curvature of the tire, regardless of your perspective, sets it apart from all other tires in the market. The Square pin, featuring tapered sizing, offers a sharp and flexible feel, adapting seamlessly to diverse racing terrains, whether wet and loamy or under blue and black groove conditions.
The pins share similarities with well-known JConcepts tires such as the Reflex and Triple Dees. However, the robust base and carcass radius of Dirt Bites contribute to the creation of an innovative super tire. Utilizing the established JConcepts continuous radius tire carcass with inner radial ribbing, this design enhances hard corner drivability.
At the ROAR 1/8th Fuel Nationals, Dakotah Phend secured the TQ position using the Dirt Bite tire in Aqua A2 compound, showcasing the design's versatility. Drivers took advantage of the tire's directional ability to find their preferred feel on the grooved track surface. The tire's curvature enables racers to position the tread either in a leading or following stance, applying the compound to the track accordingly. This choice in direction influences how the tread interacts with the surface and which edges bear the brunt of cornering load. Through testing and tuning, racers can determine the optimal configuration for their performance and commit it to memory.
