RAPID Tread Design
The Rapid-T utilizes the proven RAPID tread concept, featuring three distinct working zones designed to maximize performance under all racing conditions.

Outer Section
Delivers strong side bite and cornering grip, providing confidence in high-speed direction changes.
The tread block size, spacing, and layout have been carefully optimized to ensure consistent wear and performance across a wide variety of track conditions.
OCC – Optimized Control Concept

- Reduced tire deformation
- Enhanced steering precision
- More predictable vehicle behavior
The flatter center section maximizes traction, while the rounded shoulders maintain grip when the truck is loaded during cornering.
Memory Rubber Foam Insert
The exclusive Memory Rubber Foam insert was developed specifically for the demands of modern Truggy racing.
Advantages
- Superior shock absorption
- Improved landing stability after jumps
- Reduced tire bouncing on rough surfaces
- More consistent tire performance throughout a race
- Increased traction on technical sections
The result is a more planted truck with improved control and confidence in demanding track conditions.
