VIDEO: BRIDGESTONE HAVE DEVELOPED 'AIR-FREE' TYRES

Bridgestone has developed a next-generation bicycle tyre in an effort to realize practical application of the "Air Free Concept", a technology for creating tyres that do not need to be inflated with air.

The "Air Free Concept" eliminates the air, using a unique structure of spokes stretching along the inner side of the tyres. The resins that are used in the spokes and rubber helps realize the more efficient use of resources. Bridgestone Corporation and Bridgestone Cycle adapted the "Air Free Concept" to develop bicycle tyres without punctures.
The high flexibility of the design, granted by the resin, has also enabled proposals of next-generation bicycles which have never been seen before. The Bridgestone Group aims to propose new ways of cycling utilizing the "Air Free Concept".

While the tyre is also being adapted to be used in various other types of tyres. The Bridgestone Group is committed to continuing working towards a more sustainable future, with the universal and eco-friendly mobility for supporting people's lives.
