Session 700 tires by fyxation
Fyxati★n is a new company out of Milwaukee, WI and they are making a tire with full wrap-around, diamond pattern tread. The tires are marked as 700 x 28 but to my eyes they look more like a 700 x 32. They have a 120 TPI (threads per inch), a Kevlar bead, and are available in colors.
The set I have are all black but here is a close up of the tread taken from a post on Fyxation’s blog.
Johnny Mid-west is running one on his front, Kermin was a test rider for this product since at least ESPI4 in Boston. Prolly also wrote a review on this tire some time ago but he’s a trick rider and the bike polo application is more my area so I’ll be writing a review after I get a few games in. Check back later. But for now here is some basic info.
- 700×28c (28-622)
- Foldable
- 120 TPI
- Kevlar Rolling Protection
- Pinch-flat protection
- Full tread pattern bead to bead
- Full diamond pattern bead to bead
- Colors
- Made in Taiwan

Do they offer a 26″ tire?

I looked on the site, didn’t see any..

My team got sent some too. So far so good, very strong tires, a bit slippery in the wet but not that bad. Hard to know how they will hold as it’s been wet all the time.

I was curious to know how these tires held up in the back from skidding, because ~$50 per tire is pricey. Dig the tread pattern. Anxiously await your review, Mr. D.

I didn’t see them 26″ers on their site either. Maybe when I burn thru these ribmos, fyxation will have some by then.

these don’t hold up at all to skidding, my buddy used a rear tire for 2 (TWO) pick up games and the tread was already gone… he rides fixed and seriously played two pick up games and the tire was done!

Hey Rob, who is your buddy, I’d like to hear what he has to say. I’m about to play my first games on these tomorrow. I have a feeling they will hold up to The Pit. What is the surface he played on? rough concrete? super textured tennis court?

kermit is an impostor. and should be destroyed! I did test these tires and i still have one on the front of my bike pretty grippy. I’ve ridden 2 on my rear before and blew through them in a day of pick up. I’ve ridden both the color and the black on both front and back. the black are defiantly tougher but still not suitable for a rear if your skidding. for the record the surface was a newer tennis court and also on some tougher pavement. i did feel like i had way more control while skidding but i cant afford to change my tire after every game. also eric no k

Doug,
My friend was Miguel from Austin, he put a pink one on his back wheel the day before the Como Midwestern’s and played in two pickup games before realizing he was about to skid through the tread. He rides fixed and did a few 180 skids, but he hates them, I had another friend recently that bought one and did the same thing in the New Orleans tournament. Might hold out more if you don’t skid.

oh the surface was a parking garage, nothing too textured, just concrete.

Fyxation sponsored some prizes for the Australian Nationals 2 weeks ago… Not session 700’s but nonetheless, kudos for being one of the few international sponsors…
The 3 sets of tyres were included with the 3 sets of Chukker 36h wheelsets from Velocity. Expect to see Leigh, Rob and AJ them on the court soon (even though none of them are running 700cc bikes at the moment

These do not hold up at all skidding. I ran on back in Sept and it lasted a two day worth of polo in the pit.

Strange to hear you say that Birdseye, I have one on the rear and after 2 Sundays in The Pit it’s still good, real good. And you know I run a rear brake on a freewheel. Were you trying to burn thru it?
