Competition Deuce™
COMING EARLY 2025
The influence of motocross on the beginnings of both BMX and mountain biking is impossible to overstate.
Kids on bikes, emulating their moto-heroes, is the very foundation of BMX.
Elsewhere, hefting old Schwinns up, down and around mountains inspired trailblazing riders to seek out and adopt motorcycle equipment for it’s durability. Early mountain biking pioneers lifted grips, handlebars, cables and control levers directly from our moto-cousins. And it worked.
So when it came to creating some of the first dedicated off-road tires, it made perfect sense to mimic a motocross tire. Whether it was about imitating an aesthetic or realizing a perceived benefit, many of the first and best off-road bicycle tires were indeed inspired by motocross knobbies. The Mitsuboshi Comp 2. The IRC X-1 Racer. The Specialized Stumpjumper. And others.
Unfortunately, it’s been decades since a high-quality, basic motocross knobby tire has been available to us. House of Looptail™ is here to change that.
The Competition Deuce™ is our knobby tire in the size you want, with the look you want. It will actually fit your early cruiser, klunker, or mountain bike, looks like it belongs there, without any stupid logos, graphics, colors, or modernized tread patterns, and it promises to perform better than any of its knobbied predecessors.
Produced for us in Japan by Panaracer™, the Comp Deuce™ is of the absolute finest quality and far surpasses anything available in the 70's or 80's. Lightweight 60tpi / 60psi casings. Foldable aramid fiber beads. And Panaracer’s proprietary ZSG™ Zero Slip Grip rubber compound which, like all our tires, is tuned specifically for this application.
At this point we are thrashing on this tire and are really hoping to see samples by January of 2025. Molds alone take six months to produce! But greatness takes time, and so, your patience is appreciated.
Meaningful updates here when we have them.
Thank you for your support!
