Since we learned about the introduction of the 24″ Chase Hawk tire from Odyssey, the anticipation surrounding them seemed to be sky high. We endured teaser pictures on the OTX social media accounts, and waited patiently for them to arrive. Thankfully,the 24″ Chase Hawk tires are now out and available.
The question is…do the 24″ Chase Hawk tires live up to the hype?
Buddy Sardenga in Austin, Texas picked up a set to see.
What did he think?
Let’s find out.
Well, the first thing that I noticed about the tires are how quiet, fast, and grippy they are. I did like the Stolen Joint tires* but l could not run my front brake through the fork, they hit the cable.
*Buddy’s currently riding a chrome Stolen Saint XLT.
I ran [Tioga] Powerblocks for a bit since they came in 2.1 and were very cheap at 17 bucks…but they are very slow on concrete.
The Chase tires are a 2.2 [yet still] about the same size as the Powerblocks… but super fast and grip way better.

So, how do they measure up riding street, park and dirt?
The tire is more of a slick for park and street and I was concerned about dirt riding with them.
I guess they did their research on that because I had no issues on the dirt.
Those little groves that come from the side provide very good traction even if things are not very well groomed.
Looks like the 24″ Chase Hawk tires do live up to the hype. I think Buddy’s final thought on the tires sums it up best.
If you ride a 24, check them out for sure.
It appears Odyssey’s got a winner on their hands with the 24″ Chase Hawk tires.
