GEAX
DRIVES YOUR
PASSION
Our brand wasn’t born in a laboratory or big industrial marketing group. Nor was it borrowed
from the automotive or any other industry. Instead, it was bred from the very roots of mountain
biking: passion, dedication and love of the outdoors.
Since the early ‘90’s, Geax has developed a range full of technologies that have propelled
countless riders to the top, and continues to do so to this day.
We are unique and exclusive, designing and manufacturing tyres specifically for
your sport, your lifestyle, your passion.

BEHINDTHESCENES
Ideas, creativity, art, the rush of irrationality…
these are concepts that have fascinated humans for ages.
Nature, wind, water, stones, earth…the elements of our
surroundings, the rugged aspects of our world.
Mountain biking is the catalyst by which
these physical and intellectual elements interact,
creating the passion that drives us.
This is what motivates us day in and day out to bring
you the best products. The technology, science, analysis,
software, lab & field tests, engineers, and chemical
formulations have but one goal: to deliver that epic,
fluid ride on your favorite piece of single track.
Enjoy your tyres. Enjoy your riding.
PASSION
THROUGH
TECHNOLOGY
The idea for a new tread may come
at any time: often on the race tracks,
talking with the racers, or when
chatting with the sales reps, when
biking or drinking a beer with MTB
enthusiasts... and it is hastily scribbled
down on a piece of paper before the
idea disappears.
Using a 3D design software, we
produce a virtual prototype for
simulation of the look of the tread,
the computer is letting us alter the
dimensions at will.
Physical prototypes can then be
produced in a polymer materials, so
we can physically “feel” the tread
and more easily make a note of the
changes needed.
Through highly sophisticated computer
programs, imperfect geometries and
weak designs are brought to light,
solved, then optimized. Deformation
and strength properties are analyzed
equally, and with the final analysis, we
create the best chemical compound
formulation for the specified geometry.
Having decided the tread profile
and the shape/spacing of the knobs,
the next stage is the formal technical
drawing, needed to create the tyre
mould.
T
he mould gives us the prototypes of
the new tyre: after a few months of
tough field testing in the field to find the
best compound/casing combinations,
the new tyre is finally ready for its
public debut.
