The only wheel specifically designed for performance in the rain. Far superior grip on wet surfaces, combined with good roll, mean the STORM SURGE has no equal. Rain races around the world in 2007 have been split in half with those who have STORM SURGE at the front, and those who don't at the back.
MPC Mtech wheels are created via multi-step pouring/molding, enabling the creation of multiple layers of urethane material – each with specific, and different, properties.
Where rubber wheels are effective at reducing shock, they are easily abraded or worn down. Urethane and hard plastic wheels offer durability, but they provide a rough ride. The dual-material construction of MPC Mtech wheels combines shock reduction and durability.
MPC's patented Mtech (multi-layer technology) wheels use a soft (super-ball like) highly resilient inner layer that acts as a pneumatic tire, wrapped in a highly durable outer layer. The inner layer acts as a cushion for the hard outer surface. The inner layer deforms, flattening on the edges during a turn to provide a larger footprint, then returns to its original shape for less rolling resistance when upright.
Mtech provides the largest footprint (for grip), highest rebound (for speed) and firmest outer tread (for durability) available
