Traction Compound
RATGRIP-BITE aka THE BOSS
DESCRIPTION
If your track/series allows tire prepping, THE BOSS is an excellent choice. Unlike the toxic treatments on the market, THE BOSS, along with its family of complimentary products, is designed to be environmentally safe, non-toxic, with virtually no odor. THE BOSS is primarily used as an outside prep and is heavily concentrated, though it can also be used as an inside prep if it is rolled or painted on with brush. THE BOSS works as a super concentrated elastomer. It restores, adds new life, and gives excellent bite and grip. It also allows your tires to last longer and work better. It is not a tire softener and does not degrade the rubber as other treatments do. On average, THE BOSS alters Durometer ratings 2-4 points. This is only an average, as every tire is different and every compound is different.
RATGRIP-BITE aka THE HOSS
DESCRIPTION
THE HOSS is specifically designed to flash and penetrate quickly allowing for treatment the day before the race. Hoss also works well on Go-Kart tires as well as rolls easily on the inside of the large tires allowing the sidewall to flex and perform better.
RATMAN RATSTRIP
DESCRIPTION
If your track/series allows tire prepping, the RATMAN family of products are an excellent choice. Unlike the toxic tire prep treatments on the market, RATMAN RATSTRIP products are environmentally safe, non-toxic, with virtually no odor. RATMAN RATSTRIP removes the mold release from new tires, cleans foreign material off used tires and opens the pores of the tire to better accept tire prep.
RATMAN Track Tac Concentrate
DESCRIPTION Track Tac is a premium, concentrated traction compound at a premix price that not only creates a groove, it creates good traction. These characteristics are directly related to certain properties:The first is adhesion, “how sticky it is”.The second is cohesion, or the ability to resist sheer. The tire has to have a proper surface to grab onto, so “stickiness” alone is not sufficient.The Renegade Track Tac’s unique formulation grabs the minute particles of rubber and melds them or helps them adhere to the track surface, softens the rubber and holds it to the track. In order to optimize traction, it’s not solely the stickiness that provides the traction but the ability to allow the rubber from the tires to blend with the track, creating a “groove”.
