KHE Release 24" Park Tire, 480g!
After the unprecedented success and demand for their superlight 20" Folding BMX Tyres KHE have now transferred this technology into 24" versions, much to the joy of many mountain bikers!
The 24" Mac2 Park Tyres will be available in a couple of weeks and look set to be hot items this Summer!Weighing in at an unbelievable 480g these superlight tyres are 55mm wide, have a Kevlar sidewall and are able to hold up to 8Bar in pressure.

They are described as the perfect tyres for Skateparks whilst keeping the bike lightweight.
These tyres dramatically reduce the weight of your bike (which can be immediately felt as it is rotating weight that is being shaved off!). Just ask any local BMX'er that has used KHE folding tyres!
A quick comparison against other popular tyres shows just how light they are:
KHE Mac2 Park 24" 480g
Schwalbe Table Top 24" Folding 560g
Schwalbe Crazy Bob 24" 950g
Maxxis Holy Roller 24" 620g
Maxxis High Roller 24" 1150g
Maxxis Hookworm 24" 1000g
DMR Moto RT 24" 760g
I predict that these will be just as big in mountain biking as with BMX, where weight now plays a major role in the 'development' of bikes and breaking the limits that riders face day to day!

The KHE Mac2 Park 24" Folding tyres will come in at £37.50 (RRP) in the UK and around $70 USD and $80 CAD

they better last long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but ill be picking up a set
I understand your point but it is exactly the same argument that we heard from a few BMX'ers just before the 20" tyres came out and judging by thei popularity was proved to be inaccurate almost immediately. This is because the weight saving is so significant as it is rotating weight and is instantly noticeable.
they prob dont make them in 26" because you also get 24" bmx aswell as mtb. and generally if you have 24" wheels youll use them for dirt/street/park and if you have 26" youre likely to be doing dh or xc, if you get what i mean
£37 lol not for me
gotta love working in the trade
