Respro "SKINS"

Tyre warmers are essential for racing as they provide the necessary heat in the tyre before going out on track. However riders racing at club level do not have the luxury of a garage at the race track to keep them and their tyre warmers operating efficiently.

Being outside in the paddock means that your tyre warmers are not going to heat up the tyres as efficiently as you may expect. This is because the air around the tyre warmer is cold and with windy conditions you may find that the tyre warmer is heating up the air outside as well - this suggests that a large proportion of the heat produced by the tyre warmers is being used to heat the air and not your tyres.

Typical race tyre working temps are between 70 - 90 Deg C. If your tyres aren't at their correct temp or higher (hanging around the collection area only cools the tyres down) then you are going to be out on the track with tyres not at their optimum working temperature (and pressure).

Respro® SKINS™ are simple to use, made from neoprene and very effective at insulating the tyre warmer from the outside air and can even be used on their own after a race or track day to ensure that the heat stays in the tyre reducing the heat cycle of the tyre to a minimum. (tyres last longer with fewer heat cycles) - in our own track tests we increased the heat temperature by 30% by using Respro® SKINS™.

As mentioned above, the Skins will help your tire warmers heat up your tires.  We've found the biggest advantage was after a track session, and we didn't feel like tossing on the tire warmers.  Coming off the track, your tires are warm.  We used the Skins to KEEP the tires warm during breaks.

We also feel SKINS are the best solution when the summer approaches.  We've found it's often to warm for warmers, and all we want to do is KEEP the heat in.  We've used our electric warmers in the past, we  just didn't plug them in.  The SKINS are easier to use, with no unplugged cords to deal with.  Plus, they were quick to put on and remove.

The SKINS come with a storage bag, which makes taking them to the track a snap.

If you attend Track-Days, and just can't bring yourself to buy tire warmers, buy these.  Once your finish that first session, slap the SKINS on and keep your tires warm for the next session.  At $59.95 you can't beat the value.  We now use SKINS at every event.  Once people see them, they are a track pack must.
