About the Torch

Maxxis designed the Torch specifically for racing on paved BMX tracks, with a lightweight construction for BMX racing. It's the tyre to fit front and rear when your local track is asphalt.

Dual compound rubber and EXO casing

A dual compound tread uses two rubbers to balance rolling resistance and grip. EXO adds a light, flexible, cut- and abrasion-resistant fabric to the sidewalls.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 20-inch rims (ETRTO 56-406); Maxxis lists a 17–30 mm internal rim width. Maximum pressure is 110 psi. Check frame and fork clearance for a 2.20-inch tyre. It isn't tubeless ready, so run a tube (Maxxis says sealant in a non-TR tyre voids the warranty). Fitting isn't included; our workshop can fit it for you.

Covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Normal tread wear, punctures, cuts and damage from incorrect fitting or inflation, or from using sealant in a tyre that isn't tubeless ready, are not manufacturing defects. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with KWT Imports, Maxxis's Australian distributor.
