SMART and NASA Announce First Airless Alloy Tire for Consumers
Share Article
The SMART Tire Company is developing the first consumer application of NASA s shape memory alloy tire technology, a futuristic bicycle tire called METL™
METL tires are made from shape memory alloys developed at NASA
Shape memory alloys look extremely promising in revolutionizing the entire terrestrial tire industry LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) March 17, 2021 The SMART Tire Company, in partnership with NASA, is developing the first ever consumer application of NASA s airless shape memory alloy (SMA) tire technology, a cutting edge, eco-friendly bicycle tire called METL™. Originally invented by NASA for use on lunar and Mars rover missions, the SMA tire is made from advanced, lightweight materials known as NiTinol+, creating a tire that is elastic like rubber yet strong like titanium, exhibiting perfect shape memory without ever going flat.

You might not realize it, but you probably use NASA tech every day. Now your next bike might have NASA tire technology created for future lunar and Martian rovers, thanks to a startup called SMART.
SMART was founded in 2020, and through its partnership with NASA and the Space Act Agreement, has created its first ready-for-market product using NASA tech – an airless bicycle tire.
The METL tire uses “shape memory alloy” (SMA) materials, which replaces the usually-rubber sections of a tire with a series of interwoven springs. That means no need for inflation, no risk of punctures, and other benefits like better traction and built-in shock absorption.
