ULIP 100/55-6.5 Road Tyre (tubeless, OSH) [TurboTread DynoRoad HP-1005]

• Performance road tyre suits 6.5" rims of NAMI Burn-e, Wolf Warrior 11/GT, Dragon Hurricane, Rear of Dragon Predator 6.5" rim model, Zero 11X & VSETT 11+. Typically fitted in lieu of 90/65-6.5 and 100/65-6.5 sizes which are void of performance road options.
• Has a swirl tread pattern with slightly narrower tread pattern in contrast to the "panther paw" of the Xuancheng.
• DynoRoad is the performance tyre for hard surfaces surfaces in urban environments. These tyres run "soft and sticky" as the compound "melts on the surface" at temperature in a gel state for ultimate adherence. The SBR compound offers excellent aging stability to reduce excessive wear typically associated with "soft" tyres. Hot Melt tyres are used in professional F1 racing.
• Road tyre to suit most 11" scooters with 6.5" rim. Under inflation, this tyre has similar width to common factory stock tyres of CST and Tuovt 90/65-6.5 despite being a 100/ due to the curved shape. As the size of this tyre is conservative, it will sits most 11" eScooters and easily clear springs, fenders and callipers. Suits tubeless such as Dragon 11" makes (e.g. Hurricane), Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11 & GT series, Nami Burn-e and Dualtron (e.g. Thunder). With tube can accommodate T11-DDM (Zero 11X, Dragon X11, Black Edition 11X), VSETT 11+, Dragon Lightning V2 and (optionally tubed) on The Beast.
• 100% rubber tyre commonly used in automobile and truck tyres. It is a polymer of organic compounds rather than a typical petroleum based "Chinese Nylon" and hence called "CMT" as a "Chinese PMT".
  
• The Styrene-butadiene or styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compound is a particular family of Synthetic Butyl. This compound offers good abrasion and crack resistance and ages well when mixed and volcanized appropriately, offering good longevity. The compound is often used as a direct replacement for natural rubber. It does not soften over time like natural rubber due - it is a petroleum based co-polymer and becomes harder and more resilient over time. Shore A rated with durometer yet to be tested but estimated to be 55-65 lcold) like the other DynoRoad sizes.
• Mixed and vulcanized with Semi-Hot Melt (SHM) preparation (Half-Hot Melting) which is a recognised process used in consumer "sports" automotive tyres and those for racing and drift purposes to improve adherence in dry and wet environments. Effectively the tyre surface starts to "melt" to a gel form at temperature (high viscosity). This composition is described in detail and contrasted to Full-Hot Melt which is typically too soft and sticky for urban use. Being a Semi-Hot Melt, the tyre will not excessively absorb foreign objects such as gravel and dust that is typically associated with a "softer" Full-Hot Melt process, making it excellent for urban environments with debris etc.
• ZC Rubber (CHAOYANG) announced the introduction of Semi-Hot Melt track-grade products in 2022 in ZCfamily magazine (page 26). Semi-Hot Melt "address the issue of tyre slippage when electric vehicles and motorbikes travel at high speeds". "It is less impacted by temperature since it is made of a semi-hot melt compound, and it has outstanding wear resistance, grip performance, and stability. The new tyres can achieve the effect of halving braking distance". In 2022, ZC Rubber overtook Yokahama Rubber Japan as the 8th largest company in the global tyre industry. There are now several manufactures producing SHM tyres, in appropriate shape and this is finally progressing to typical eScooter sizes.

Typically SBR becomes "harder" at temperature, further improving tyre wear resistance. The Semi-Hot Melt additives provides the "softer surface" to enhance grip under acceleration, braking and sharp cornering.

• DynoRoad combines a harder compound that offers less resistance with improving longevity and efficiency due to using SBR compound. Adhesion (traction) is due to the tyre being mixed and vulcanized with Semi-Hot Melt preparation and therefore provides impressive adhesion with a long lasting compound. The nameplate PSI pressure ratings is similar to "Chinese Nylons" at 50 PSI, which reduces resistance and provides a more efficient ride. This is a performance road tyre for ultimate adherence to hard surfaces in all weather environments at high pressure.
• The factory is one of the few that have recently commenced production of SHM tyres. Tyre thickness is to be confirmed, but based on weight alone should exceed the thickness of PMT e-Fire series. The narrower 10x3 (80/65-6) from Xuancheng also adopts SHM as does their popular 100/55-6.5 (The inaugural "CMT").
• Road tread for the urban use in all weather conditions. DynoRoad has a round racing footprint similar to PMT Stradale and DynoSlick to assist cornering response.
• Typical observed weight 1170 grams, 1510 grams with self-healing liner.
• Red line.
• Typically with ULIP branding, nameplate HP-1005-01 this tyre is manufactured by factory in Dongguan for ULIP and is the 6.5"rim version of the 6" rim 90/60-6 (10"). Expected to be 50 PSI (relatively high pressure, low rolling resistance for optimised range / efficiency and rim protection), like most factory stock road tyres, higher than than DynoSlick / PMT series (~36 PSI).
• Observed (uninflated) diameter: 264mm, internal diameter 167mm (6.57") to accommodate 6.5" rim and 105mm width. Width at bead (the rim) is 75mm which is 3mm narrower than the popular DynoRoad SHM-XC 100/55-6.5 (78mm) and 10mm wider than the DynoSlick 90/65-6.5 (65mm)
• eScootNow is proud to be the first to bring this tyre to our region.

Notes:

1. Production commenced Q2 2024.
2. Images showing fitment to NAMI Burn-e by Joseph Taylor at NAMI Electric BURN-E/BLAST/KLIMA/ Electric scooter group. Images suggests this tyre offers better clearance on brake callipers than the Xuancheng XC/TH-026 (DynoRoad SHM-XC) which occasionally requires the side of the tyre to be "cut back" to prevent rubbing against calliper..
