IRC Aspite RBCC

The IRC Aspite Pro RBCC tires are made with a new and improved RBCC tread compound that simultaneously reduces rolling resistance while improving road grip. Puncture resistance and side-wall durability come from our X-Guard Belt, a 40x40 TPI anti-puncture barrier on top of a 180 TPI casing.

Rice Bran Ceramic Compound (RBCC)

Rice Bran Ceramic is derived from everyday ordinary rice. What we do to it, however, is anything but ordinary. We take rice bran, or the outer husk of an individual rice grain, grind it to a fine powder, mix it with a thermoset resin and super-heat the mixture. After cooling, the resulting material is pulverized to create millions of porous “balls,” each covered with semi-rigid spikes extending in all directions. We then knead the ceramic rice bran balls with rubber and mold it into tire tread. Once assembled into tires, the tiny spikes on the surface of the balls grab the road surface, increasing traction, while the pores wick water from the road surface and create a larger tire-to-road contact patch.
