SimWorks Homage 26″ TLC Tire — Ottawa Bike & Trail
Rediscover the smooth, confident ride of a classic 26-inch setup with the SimWorks Homage 26″ TLC, now available at Ottawa Bike & Trail. Perfect for riders who want modern performance in a timeless 26-inch format, this tubeless-compatible tire blends comfort, grip, and durability for pavement, gravel, and mixed terrain.
Why the Homage 26″ TLC Stands Out
-
True 26-inch sizing (55–559) — ideal for riders refreshing a beloved 26" mountain bike or completing a new custom build.
-
2.13″ high-volume profile smooths rough roads, cracks, and dirt paths with ease.
-
Tubeless Compatible (TLC) design lets you run lower pressures for added comfort and traction while reducing the risk of flats.
-
Aramid (Kevlar) bead for lighter weight, dependable durability, and excellent tubeless performance.
-
Balanced tread pattern with a fast-rolling center and grippy cornering knobs for versatile, all-surface riding.
-
Lightweight at about 660 grams — sturdy enough for daily use without slowing you down.
-
Built in Japan by Panaracer, ensuring top-tier rubber quality and long-lasting performance.
Ride Feel & Ideal Uses
The Homage 26″ TLC delivers a plush ride feel with the versatility to handle city streets, crushed gravel, and light trails. It’s a perfect upgrade for retro MTB conversions, everyday commuters, adventure builds, and anyone who still loves the agility and personality of a 26-inch bike. Modern rubber + classic handling = the perfect blend of nostalgia and performance.
