IRC VE-33S Gekkota Gummy Tire | Extreme Enduro Traction

Stop spinning and start climbing. The IRC VE-33S Gekkota is the definitive answer for technical woods riders, hard enduro competitors, and anyone facing "unrideable" terrain. By combining the legendary carcass of the standard VE-33 with IRC’s secretive ultra-high-grip gummy compound, this tire acts like a cheat code for rocks, roots, and slick creek beds.

Hybrid Technology: The Best of Both Worlds

Unlike traditional trials tires that lack lateral stability, or standard knobbies that bounce off obstacles, the VE-33S Gekkota is a hybrid tire. It features a reinforced sidewall to prevent "folding" under high speeds, paired with a soft, jelly-like tread that deforms around obstacles to create a massive contact patch.

Maximum "Hook-Up" Traction: The specialized rubber compound allows the knobs to wrap around jagged rocks and wet logs, providing trials-like grip with a full-size knobby tread.

Two-Ply + Breaker Carcass: Engineered to be 20% more rigid than the original Gekkota, the "S" (Standard/Strong) version provides superior puncture resistance and prevents rim dings during high-impact hits.

Braking Stability: The block layout is optimized for hard braking into corners, ensuring you stay in control even on steep, loose descents.

Extreme Versatility: While it's a "gummy," the VE-33S is designed to last longer than traditional soft-compound tires, making it the perfect choice for long-distance trail rides and multi-day enduro races.

Why It’s the #1 Choice for Hard Enduro

From the Erzbergrodeo to your local technical singletrack, the VE-33S Gekkota is built for the "slow and technical." If your ride involves constant elevation changes, slick limestone, or mossy roots, this tire provides the mechanical grip required to maintain momentum where others fail.
