Trails nowadays are nothing like they used to be, very little pedaling and/or braking and the dirt is usually rock hard. So it didn't make sense to mimic MX tyres and Brian Foster rides a mix of everything. Brian's tyre needs to work well on everything, that lead to giving the FT1 a relatively smooth centre section to make the tyre as fast as possible. Turning is when an increase in grip is needed, so when you lean the bike over in a turn that's when the micro-knobs come into play. The micro-knobs provide a perfect balance of surface area, stability and space in between for when the dirt might be a little soft still. Sticking up above the main surface a small amount allows them to sink into that slightly soft dirt and give an increase in surface area contact. Those micro-knobs don't negatively affect stability or grip on hard surfaces though, the edges of the tread pattern are smooth tread blocks that help protect the sidewall on ramps or street.

Plastic hub guard from Merritt. By using a heat-treated 4140 chromoly core, the replaceable plastic sleeve can be extra thick without making the guard too big, keeping everything super strong and long lasting.

Universal plastic hub guard that easily attaches to the spokes with a simple spring clip that keeps the guard under tension and in place. The tension system is away from the grind side, so it isn't affected as the guard wears down. Works on most front hubs and some rear hubs. Weight: 25g / 0.9oz.

The Merritt Battle Freecoaster uses a traditional clutch style system paired with the 9T Diamond Driver (the driver comes with a lifetime guarantee). The driver replaces the small bearings, the most common source of failure in freecoasters, with polymer bushings along its entire length. The hub shell is super slim and CNC’d 6061 aluminum with a hollow chromoly axle. The hub comes set with maximum slack (we recommend running it like this) but adjustment washers are included to reduce slack if desired. The Battle Freecoaster is laced to The Battle Rim, The Battle Rim steps away from the low profile trend we’ve been seeing in BMX with some taller sidewalls to give the rim a little more beef. The Battle rim is made from 6061-aluminum with a 39mm width and a welded seam to ensure strength. It’s a double wall rim and it has a beefy ridge in the middle to help prevent spokes from blowing out. Available in RHD and LHD. ###section### Product Specs WHEEL SIZE:20" HUB:Merritt Battle Freecoaster AXLE:14mm Chromoly Male DRIVE SIDE:Right Side Drive RIM:Merrit Battle Rim SPOKES:Butted NIPPLES:Brass WEIGHT:1090g / 38.4oz E3
