American Classic: Elevating Bicycle Performance and Innovation

The right product can make your cycling dreams come true, and American Classic exemplifies the pinnacle of performance in bicycle engineering and innovation. What started as a drive to create better, lighter products has led to industry-leading manufacturing facilities, allowing American Classic to provide you with a growing line of high-performance bicycle tires.

Founder Bill Shook, a talented professional road racer on the US National Team, was inspired to start experimenting in his garage, engineering his own aluminum bicycles and components. As demand grew, partnerships were formed with the finest production facilities in Taiwan, eventually leading to American Classic's own factory with complete control over all aspects of production, from prototype to manufacturing.

The Torchbearer, one of American Classic's premier offerings, provides versatile performance in a variety of road conditions. Its progressive tread design delivers excellent grip and handling to support your town-line sprint, while offering low rolling resistance for long days in the saddle. The Stage 4S Armor construction combines three separate components of flat protection, including a 120 TPI skin, a lightweight Nylon105 belt, and an anti-cut deflecting skin, to boost confidence and durability on long rides and in any weather. The 120 TPI casing further reduces road vibration for long-distance comfort over rougher terrain.

The Torchbearer is available in both Tubeless Ready and tube-type constructions, designed for hook-bead (crochet) rims that follow current E.T.R.T.O. standards. The Tubeless Ready version requires liquid tubeless sealant for proper setup.

In addition to the Torchbearer, American Classic offers a range of road, gravel, and mountain bike tires, all engineered with the brand's expertise in manufacturing and innovative technologies. The Rubberforce S compound, a family of tread compounds designed for American Classic road tires, includes a mixture of silica for added durability, grip, and maximum speed for road racing.

Since 1982, American Classic has been leveraging its expertise with unique manufacturing systems and emerging technologies to provide premium quality products for your bicycle. The brand's FAQ section addresses common questions about tire sizing, the difference between Tubeless Ready and Tubeless, and the compatibility of American Classic tires with hookless rims.

Whether you're embarking on your next adventure or seeking to elevate your cycling performance, American Classic's range of tires is designed to make your cycling dreams come true. Experience the pinnacle of bicycle engineering and innovation with American Classic.
