Israel Cycling Academy (Israel) - Press Release: Did we find the “Holy Grail”?

ICA and Maxxis Tires renew partnership after a successful first year together including a rare feat: No flat tires for ICA-riders with Maxxis for the entire Giro.

Israel Cycling Academy and world-renowned tire manufacture Maxxis will continue their partnership in 2020 after an exceptionally successful racing season.

One of the unexpected highlights of the partnership between the Israeli team and the Taiwanese tire giant: an almost NO FLAT season!

Maxxis tires statistics with Israel Cycling Academy are impressive. “In more than 300 race days in 2019, with around seven riders per day, we had IN TOTAL less than 40 flat tires”, says Jost Zevnik, Operations Manager at ICA.
He made sure to give equal credit to sealant manufacture “Orange Seal” for the impressive feat: “The combination between Maxxis and “Orange seal” proved to be a winner”, said Zevnik. “In fact, during the entire Giro d’Italia we did not have a single flat tire.”

Well, those are proper statistics, aren’t they? How many flat tires do YOU get in 2019?

No wonder that Zevnik is happy with the continuation of the collab with Maxxis. Zevnik: “Their input in making sure we can use the best material is enormous.”

Also, Pro Manager Kjell Carlström is proud of the extension of the partnership: “In 2019 we had a great collaboration with Maxxis, and therefore I am looking forward to continuing this quest for great results in 2020.”
