Whether an off-road bike has good shock absorption performance and grip is crucial. The shock absorber and grip of traditional bicycles are generally realized by the combined operation of tires, front wheel shock absorbers, and intermediate body shock absorbers. However, this newly designed bicycle tire is completely different. Its special feature is that its tire is composed of elastic modules one by one. In a normal riding state, due to the inherent elasticity of the tire material, it will not undergo any deformation; but when encountering a rugged ground, most of the blocking force of the foreign body will be concentrated on a point of the tire, causing the elastic bracket to deform and absorb part At the same time, the overall concave of the elastic module will partially fit the foreign body, which not only acts as a cushioning effect but also improves the grip. Such a subversive design will bring an unprecedented improvement in bicycle tire performance.
