JConcepts Reflex Tires for 1/10 Buggy: Traction for Dust and Loam

Tires are one of the most important items in getting your buggy to work at its best and now JConcepts is releasing a new series of tires called the Reflex for 2WD and 4WD buggies. With a square and angled style lug, this tread pattern is suited to loose and dusty tracks or when the dirt has added water to aid in traction. The square and angled lugs flex and snap back to help with acceleration and help square the buggies up out of corners. With some racers opting to buck the trend in highbite indoor clay style tracks, these tires could be just what they are looking for. The Reflex is available as 2WD front, 4WD front and rear for use on both, are built on the 60mm bead and carcass design and can be used with all 60mm/2.4″ wheel combinations. Time to get your roost on.

Latest from JConcepts:

The Reflex tire is designed to bridge a gap between the popular Double Dees and other options such as 3Ds and Hybrids. The Reflex has square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire. Typically a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly.

Starting with the new tread, the team focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tire option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. With the popularity of mid-motor buggies and the focus on steering and corner speed, the Reflex releases and bites hard during corner exit for straight line acceleration. The blended tread to tire body is supported with a generous radius which promotes “pin snap” and also resists tearing or separation.

Horizontal traction bars connect several pins near the center of the tire which bonds a critical area for increased push at high-speed. The sidewall area blends nicely into a step-spike feature which helps smooth the transition in bumpy sections and also create side-bite. The Reflex are built on the 60mm bead and carcass design making them interchangeable with all 60mm | 2.4” wheel combinations. The interior ribbing features the double-hatch pattern that helps maintain a comfy ride while each set of tires includes the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.

The Reflex 2wd front tire is designed to bring a grippy tread to an assortment of 2wd buggies on the market. The Reflex has square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire. Typically a stacked tread will wear less and provide more forward bite while the aligned space helps rotation in the turns and gives a snappy release to square up quickly.

The blended tread to tire body is supported with a generous radius which promotes “pin snap” and also resists tearing or separation.
