In advance of its STAG UTV launch (orders open July 11), Volcon has announced a collab with BFGoodrich for some revolutionary rubber. The Volcon Tech Innovation Group (VTIG), a division of Volcon that explores advanced technologies to enhance and evolve current and future Volcon products, will be the first UTV brand to work directly with BFGoodrich to co-develop this technology. The two teams will work together to leverage the power of the EV motor in tandem with BFGoodrich’s ActivAir, the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) that makes real-time adjustments that aim to enhance the off-road performance and increase the battery range of Volcon’s future UTV products.
“As the market evolves towards electric vehicles, BFGoodrich is excited to work with companies that embody the adventure spirit,” says Harold Phillips, General Global Manager for BFGoodrich Tires. “Collaborating with Volcon will allow us to innovate in an exciting direction and help lead the industry into the future of off-roading.”
“We are excited to work with a world-leading tire supplier,” adds Christian Okonsky, Chief Technology Officer of Volcon ePowersports based in Texas. “The joining of our teams and technology will bring invaluable knowledge and experience to the development process as we work to bring industry-leading EV-specific solutions to market.”
Additionally, BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 UTV Tire will come standard on all 2023 Stag LE models. “The BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 Tire is a must-have for the serious off-road enthusiast when conditions require extreme traction and toughness,” he notes. The KM3 comes with a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, which will further enhance the quality of the all-electric Volcon UTV and further strengthen customers' confidence in the Stag LE.
