IRC JX8 Gekkota Rear Tires
Cycle News Staff | December 12, 2024
IRC’s JX8 Gekkota rear tire, previously only available in the 110/100-18 size, now comes in two more options: 120/100-18 and 140/80-18.
Developed and tested with the assistance of top hard-enduro and endurocross riders, the JX8 has a dual-compound, three-ply carcass that includes IRC’s super-gummy compound for grip over challenging obstacles. Rigid sidewalls provide straight-drive stability, and the center knobs are reinforced with extra rubber for added durability.
Here’s how IRC describes the JX8 Gekkota tire:
JX8 Gekkota was developed and tested with help of top Hard Enduro Endurocross riders in most extreme condition to making another gummy tire option for single track riders and top pro Hard Enduro/Endurocross riders.
