SMART Tire Selected as one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2023

  • Originally developed and tested by NASA for future Mars Rover missions

  • First ever, space-age METL™ tire made from Shape Memory Alloy Radial Technology (SMART), a superelastic material called NiTinol+

  • Smart memory metal that (unlike stretching) rearranges its molecular structure when you bend it, but instantly goes back to its original shape, perfectly

  • Airless, never flat, elastic like rubber yet strong like titanium

  • First ever pneumatic bike tire alternative to achieve a lightweight, smooth ride, with superior handling & durability (full purchase and subscription model available)

  • For commuter, road, gravel, MTB, cargo & eBikes, can increase traction & safety

  • Final product will be integrated with a special poly-rubber material, for the longest-lasting tread and grip, for all weather conditions

  • One tire for the life of your bicycle (no leaks, tears, punctures or messy sealants)

  • High-value product for the modern bike enthusiast and pro level cyclist

  • The coolest, freakin’ bike tires you’ll ever own, using NASA technology

  • Reimagining the wheel™, by Reinventing the tire™ #GoMETL
