With the new AKA PLUMA tire, GEAX now boasts its lightest racing tire for XC mountain biking. At 295g the AKA PLUMA is not only the lightest tire in the GEAX range but it is also the fastest tire in the MTB world due to its unique 220 TPI nylon casing.

The AKA PLUMA is the peak of Geax’s technology when it comes to racing tyres. 220Tpi nylon casing directly derived from road racing developement (because those guys know a thing or two regarding speed) mated to proven Geax compound technology was specifically designed for being the FASTEST XC tyre on the market. XC racing is where it belongs, here it’s all about speed and low rolling resistance. Only for dry and hard packed conditions, the short central knobs provide quick acceleration/deceleration and keep weight and rolling resistance low, while more aggressive side knobs handle the corners.

Available in: 26”x1.8 (Fold)
