Bridgestone develops the new generation of bicycle tires thanks to Air Free Concept technology

Bridgestone Corporation and Bridgestone Cycle Co., Ltd announce the development of a next-generation bicycle tire that uses Air Free Concept[1] technology, used to create tires that do not need to be inflated with air. The unique spoked structure that runs along the inner side of the tire supports the weight of the bicycle and contributes to a more efficient use of resources.

Bridgestone Corporation and Bridgestone Cycle have adapted the Air Free Concept to develop bicycle tires that prevent punctures. The high design flexibility given by the resin has also allowed the development of new generation bicycles never seen before on the market. Bridgestone aims to propose new ways of using the bicycle thanks to the Air Free Concept, also using the technology for the development of other types of tyres. The company is constantly committed to working to create a sustainable society through environmentally conscious mobility that supports people's lives.
