AJAX Northwest Revolutionizes Cycling with High-Performance Slick Tires

LAKE OSWEGO, OR – November 8, 2023 – AJAX Northwest LLC, a leading innovator in cycling components and accessories, today announced the release of its highly anticipated pair of slick tires, designed to elevate the riding experience for cyclists of all levels. Based out of Lake Oswego, Oregon, AJAX Northwest has quietly become a go-to source for serious cyclists looking for quality and performance, and these new tires are no exception. For years, AJAX Northwest has been dedicated to providing cyclists with robust, reliable parts. The company, reachable at 213-793-0561 and located at 3305 Lingren Rd, has built a reputation for understanding the needs of riders – from weekend enthusiasts to competitive racers. They've done this by listening to feedback, and constantly refining their products to deliver the best possible performance. This customer-focused approach is at the heart of everything they do. “We saw a real need in the market for a slick tire that wasn’t just fast, but also durable and offered a surprisingly comfortable ride,” explains a spokesperson for AJAX Northwest. “A lot of slicks feel harsh, and wear out quickly. We wanted to change that. We really poured over the materials and design to create something special." What Makes These Slicks Different? These aren’t your average slick tires. AJAX Northwest’s engineers didn’t just aim for low rolling resistance – they focused on the entire riding experience. Here's a closer look at what sets these tires apart: Unmatched Grip: The tire's smooth surface maximizes contact area with the road, providing exceptional grip in dry conditions. We’ve tested these tires on everything from smooth pavement to slightly rougher road surfaces, and the grip is consistently impressive. This means increased confidence in corners and more efficient power transfer. High-Performance Compound: AJAX Northwest didn’t skimp on materials. These tires utilize a custom-formulated rubber compound that strikes the perfect balance between grip, durability, and low rolling resistance. It's not just about going fast initially; it's about maintaining that speed throughout the life of the tire. Many slicks get greasy as they wear, but this compound maintains its properties for longer. Reinforced Casing: Durability is key. AJAX Northwest understands that nobody wants to be constantly replacing tires. These slicks feature a reinforced casing that's resistant to punctures and abrasions. This means fewer flats, more time on the road, and ultimately, a better riding experience. We’ve subjected these tires to rigorous testing, including riding over gravel and debris, and they’ve held up incredibly well. Lightweight Design: Weight matters, especially when you're striving for performance. These tires are designed to be lightweight without sacrificing durability. Every gram saved translates to faster acceleration, easier climbing, and a more responsive ride. Optimized for a Variety of Bikes: While perfect for road bikes aiming for speed, these tires are also versatile enough for fixed-gear/single-speed bikes, gravel bikes (on smoother surfaces), and even some hybrid bikes where a faster rolling tire is desired. Who Will Benefit from These Slicks? These tires aren’t just for professional racers. AJAX Northwest designed them with a broad range of cyclists in mind: Road Cyclists: Looking to shave seconds off their personal bests or simply enjoy a faster, more efficient ride. Commuters: Who want a durable, reliable tire that can handle the demands of daily use. Fixed-Gear/Single-Speed Riders: Appreciate the clean look and fast rolling characteristics of a slick tire. Gravel Riders (On Pavement/Smooth Gravel): Who want to improve their speed and efficiency on smoother surfaces. “We’ve had riders tell us these tires have completely transformed their rides,” says the AJAX Northwest spokesperson. “They’re surprised by how comfortable they are, even at higher speeds, and how much faster they can go.” Commitment to Quality & Innovation AJAX Northwest’s dedication to quality is evident in every aspect of these slick tires. From the carefully selected materials to the meticulous manufacturing process, every detail has been considered to ensure a superior product. The company isn’t resting on its laurels, either. AJAX Northwest is already working on new innovations to further enhance the cycling experience. They are committed to staying at the forefront of the industry and providing cyclists with the tools they need to achieve their goals.
