Marcel Fournier Ice Tire for Dirt Bike | How it's Made

- I show you how Marcel Fournier makes his tires. This is just the nuts and bolts of how the tire is pieced together not how it's screwed or the science behind the nitty-gritty. We could talk for hours about how to properly screw a ice tire. I just want to showcase this mans attention to detail and show off the incredible product he sends out to everyone of his customers. I certainly learned my lesson from breaking the bead on this one as it renders the tire garbage immediately. Next time i'll be using a LOT more lube to mount that sucker!

Dude - thx for the share. I have had the opportunity to ride different tire setups. this guys are the best. for the amount of work it would take me to try and make one of these would cost me a $1000.00 of my time and effort. AND I MEAN A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT.
You're right. The knowledge they have to build a good tire is hard to come by. I know I don't have the skill to build a tire like this
I did the exact same thing. Pinched 1st tube and tore the bead when I was reinstalling. Live and learn, ice tires are no fun to spoon on!!
InstaBlaster.
been racing for 10+ years, mounting the tires is an art and you must take care to ensure you have LOTS of spoons and have the opposite side down in the valley.
Front tires we just use mountain bike skinny tube works mint. Been racing CR500s for years miss the ice!
I used a 24 inch mountain bike tube in my daughters kx100 front tire so our riding day wasn't wasted by a flat tire.
If you needs lots of spoons you're doing it wrong... for 10+ years.
@@peteh8077 How many ice tires have you done? not winter studded tires. MF44 Tires.
Cool ! I just got a set o diagle tires
So what did you end up doing once you took them apart? Did you get a new outer tire and reinstall the studs? Or did you fork up the money to buy a whole brand new one from marcel?
I ended up selling the broken down components to someone else so they could make a tire
Hi- I have a very similar profile of tire tread for my ice tires, but the rotation arrow shows the profile should be "frowning" when looking at the rear tire from the rear. In the pics it looks like your profile is opposite- "smiling". Could you confirm that is how you run them?
No doubt all tires are built differently, but to answer your question... my tires are built in such a way that when you stand behind the bike looking at the rear tire, the screws should form a smiling pattern. This i would say is the most common pattern I've seen locally. Most of us are using mf1 directional screws by the way. Not sure if build patterns vary depending on directional screws vs symmetrical screws.
@@NicolasPoirier thanks for the reply! I have MF 3/4” screws in rear, MF41 11/16” in front of that helps I am not sure of the right screw orientation though?
@BioHaz43 sadly I'm unfamiliar with those specific screws
Hey can you guide me next Friday i gone ride on frozen lake
Its Skardu where K-2 located 2 days away from me
I'd never pay that much money for that much extra weight when Gripstuds in my tubeless kitted tires are so light and reliable.
Grip studs are for a more "all terrain" tire set up. These are specifically designed solely for ice. Each setup has its place
These tires will do circles around those. It's fine if everyone has the same thing. But If u wanna win these are the best.
I’ve got a set of these ice tires. there is right around 1000 studs in the tires. And yes they are very heavy and sharp. These studs aren’t AMA legal and can’t be raced in AMA sanctioned races. What a shame. 😢
My MF ice tire has 432 studs. The front slightly less.
And yes, these are "Canadian" studs. Not the AMA ("American") studs which are more like sheet metal screws.
Having ridden American studded tires with MIRA up in Duluth I can tell you the Canadian studded tires handle the ice/snow chips much better, thereby requiring less plowing of the track. Better for your Sunday outing.
Recing wise? No opinion. You race what your allowed and deal with it.
