Odyssey Optis 29 Inch TPU MTB Tubeless Tire Insert

Description

Tubeless Optimized

OPTIS 29" (Odyssey Pneumatic Tire Insert System) is a lightweight, highly tunable, high-efficiency, tubeless tire insert. Tire assemblies are one of the most important performance factors for any bike. They provide all the grip to the ground, they serve as a critical first element of the bike's suspension and they provide essential support to the cornering forces that the bike encounters. Pressure choice is always a compromise to balance these requirements. OPTIS separates the function of the bike's grip from its suspension and stability by turning the tire into a two-stage system. As a result, some important advantages are achieved.

Features:

• OPTIS prevents tire burping by pressing the tire against the rim and preventing gaps from opening.
• OPTIS allows for lower tire pressures. The insert is inflated to a higher pressure than the tire, keeping the tire supported while allowing the main volume to run at a lower pressure for optimum grip.
• OPTIS protects the rim and tire against impacts. The insert's higher pressure reduces the chances of tire pinching and rim damage.
• OPTIS locks the tire bead and provides a temporary run-flat period if the tire is damaged, giving the rider more control and time to stop safely.
• OPTIS is lightweight. Wheel assemblies using OPTIS are significantly lighter than most alternative tubeless insert setups, while providing greater protection. The bead locking feature and tire support can also allow for lighter tire and rim choices.
• OPTIS installation is easy and helps seat tires. Unlike foam inserts, OPTIS installs as easily as a traditional inner tube, and inflation begins pushing the tire beads outward to ease seating.
• OPTIS allows for low rolling resistance by facilitating the use of lower pressures and lighter tires, greatly improving rolling efficiency on rough surfaces.
