Can We Make A Puncture Proof Tyre?

Punctures are unfortunately inevitable when mountain biking! MTB trails are scattered with sharp rocks and thorns waiting to create tiny holes in your tyres. Before tubeless this would mean taking your wheel out on the side of the trial and changing or repairing your inner tube. With the introduction of tubeless those trailside stops have reduced massively, but not entirely. Blake Samson has made it his goal to create a completely puncture-free trail experience, so no more packing spare innertubes or plugs!
