GEAX GATO MUD XC Tire Tubeless Folding 2012
The Geax Gato Mud is a durable, high performance cross country tire that weighs as low as 390 grams and handles tougher and wetter conditions than the Geax Gato tire. The tire is made with Geax's high quality casings for lasting durability and the best performance possible. Get this tire with TNT Tubeless technology for lighter, stronger sidewalls and better stability at low tire pressures. Also available as a folding tire for even lower weight with a strong, durable 120 TPI nylon casing.
The Gato Mud has been specifically designed for the most extreme conditions in nature. Its narrow section, coupled with the open tread pattern, make for a self-cleaning tire that will keep you riding when the weather’s at its worst. A reliable, light, folding tire that delivers performance even when mere survival is the goal. The Gato Mud was designed for maximum grip and control in wet and loose conditions. An aggressive tread with tall, widely spaced, siped knobs that ensures traction when the elements make the trail challenging. Reinforcements at the base of the central ridge reduce rolling resistance while similar reinforcements on the side knobs ensures knob stiffness and penetration when cornering.

✔ additional sidewall protection layer (nylon fabric and abrasion resistant rubber compound);
✔ tubeless talon (fits both standard and tubeless rims).
Geax TNT tyre allows for up to 100g saving compared to a standard tubeless and the reinforced sidewalls give an unbeatable cut resistance. TNT tyres, used as tubeless on UST rims with Pit Stop cartridge or with liquid latex Pit Stop TNT pluses: low inflating pressures, higher stability when cornering, lower rolling resistance, virtually no pinch flats, tyre bead firmly locked on rim edge and easy inflation with a standard pump being lighter and stronger than standard tubeless. A Pit Stop cartridge contains only 35g of foam, as effective as 50-60g of liquid latex. When mounted on a tubeless rim, with the addition of Geax Pit Stop or other latex sealant, a TNT tyre is lightweight and reliable. Using a TNT tyre with an inner tube is also a very good choice for somebody sticking to more “traditional tyre + tube systems”, looking for a reinforced tyre without having to carry the weight penalty.
TNT ADVANTAGES
Geax TNT tyre + Geax Pit Stop vs standard tubeless tyre:
- lighter (up to 100g less per wheel)
- stronger to sidewall cuts and punctures
- lower rolling resistance (without the butyl layer the casing is lighter and more flexible thus the tyre rolls better).
- more stable at low inflation pressures
Geax TNT tyre + Geax Pit Stop vs standard tyre + latex sealant:
- allows low inflating pressure without worries of sidewall failures or bead movements (with sudden pressure loss)
- much stronger to sidewall cuts and punctures
- easy inflation with either floor and hand pumps
