PETALUMA, Calif. – e-thirteen has officially unveiled its new Grappler mountain bike tire line, headlined by a refined Flux GR Radial casing that delivers the best grip and comfort in the brand’s history. This comprehensive lineup provides professional-level performance at affordable prices across E-MTB, Trail, All-Mountain, Enduro, and Downhill categories.

The Radial Advantage: Grip Without Compromise

By developing a true radial construction and adding special features, e-thirteen has achieved several key breakthroughs in MTB tire performance.

So, what makes e-thirteen’s Radial tires one of the world’s best and grippiest MTB tires?

• 30% Larger Contact Patch: At equal air pressures, the radial casing provides a significantly increased footprint, improving traction, stability, and braking bite.
• Unmatched Comfort:  It’s not just about grip. The radial construction adds a sense of “extra travel” to your bike, conforming to the terrain and absorbing micro-variations to reduce rider fatigue
• Dual Apex Stability: Unlike typical radial tires, e-thirteen’s version uses super-stiff Dual Apex Sidewall Inserts. This allows riders to run standard pressures without the excessive lateral flex common to radial competitors, and enhances rim protection. If you ride and live in a very rocky area, we still recommend increasing 15% to a little more for impact.

Engineered Rubber and Tread Tailored for Every Rider:

The Grappler MTB tire lineup utilizes two proprietary compounds and three purpose-built tread designs to eliminate guesswork:

• MoPo Compound: An extra-soft 42a durometer rubber used throughout the entire knob (base and outside). This provides maximum grip and slows tire rebound, damping vibrations for a tacky, high-confidence feel.
• Momentum Compound: A dual-compound option (50a center/42a shoulders) built for longevity and speed. It delivers 85% of MoPo’s maximum cornering grip while improving wear life and rolling speed, making it ideal for E-MTB and rear-wheel use.

Three Tread Options:

• Grappler: The most aggressive, all-condition tire featuring a 2-3-2 tread design, with big center lugs for predictable traction through lean angles, and reduced knob flex.
• Grappler RS: A 27.5” rear-optimized 2-2-2 tread with tall, steep-ramped center knobs for improved braking and faster rolling speed. 
• Grappler TR: The fastest and lightest choice, sharing the RS layout but with a lower-profile center tread, offers speed and efficiency, making it perfect for hardpack and high-speed terrain.

A Simplified, Affordable MTB Tire Range

e-thirteen has scrutinized every model to ensure the lineup is easy to stock and easy to choose. The range includes the heavy-duty Flux GR Radial with Dual Apex Inserts, the supportive Flux GR gravity casing with GR Apex Inserts, and the lightweight Flux AM trail casing. All models feature two-ply construction for ample puncture prevention and Armor Weave sidewall protection.

“Riders shouldn’t have to choose between performance and price. Getting the Grappler right meant a lot of iterations, a lot of back-to-back testing against the best tires on the market, and a lot of feedback from racers who don’t sugarcoat anything. The construction we landed on is the one that beat everything we put it up against — and we’re putting it in riders’ hands at a price that respects their wallets.”  — Joel Peters, e-thirteen

“More grip than ever, more tire for your money.”
The Grappler line is priced to provide an elite performance-to-value ratio, 

with MSRPs ranging from just $59.95 to $79.95. 

Availability: Most models are available now!

Don’t just take our word for it. Mountain Bike Action gave the Grappler a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. BikeRadar awarded it 4.5 out of 5, praising its grip and cornering confidence. E-MTB riders take note: the Grappler was named one of the best E-MTB tires by BikePerfect and #1 for durability, with the robust casing and sticky MoPo compound handling the extra torque and weight that electric mountain bikes demand.

After stepping into the spotlight at the Met Gala, the SPREEAI CEO is attracting attention not just for his company — but for his style, ambition, and mysterious private life.

Every year, the worlds of fashion, celebrity, technology, and culture collide on the biggest stages. This season, one name has been quietly generating a growing amount of attention: John Imah, the CEO and co-founder of SPREEAI.

Fresh off his appearance at the Met Gala, Imah is quickly becoming one of the most interesting new figures moving through fashion’s inner circles. Known for building at the intersection of artificial intelligence and style, he is no longer just being noticed as a tech founder. Increasingly, he is being seen as a cultural presence — polished, ambitious, private, and impossible to ignore.

Standing at 6’1”, with sharp personal style, a confident presence, and the kind of understated charisma that turns heads without trying too hard, Imah represents a very different kind of modern leading man. He is not loud. He is not chasing attention. He is not performing for the internet. And that may be exactly why people are paying attention.

In a world where so much is overshared, Imah appears to move differently. His public image is refined, focused, and intentionally private. He seems equally comfortable in high-level business conversations, fashion-forward rooms, and red-carpet environments — a rare combination that has made him one of the more compelling men to watch in the fashion-tech space.

His growing social media presence is only adding to the intrigue. Particularly on Instagram, Imah has started developing a following for his mix of fashion, travel, founder life, luxury aesthetics, and behind-the-scenes access into worlds most people never get to see. The energy feels curated but authentic — the kind of page people end up scrolling longer than they expected. Following the Met Gala, multiple fashion and entertainment outlets, including The Shade Room, began spotlighting him as one of the “Best Dressed Men” of the night, further cementing his emergence as a standout figure from this year’s event.

Naturally, as his public profile rises, so does curiosity around his personal life.

So, is John Imah dating anyone?

From what is publicly visible, Imah appears to keep his romantic life extremely private. He does not seem to be the type to broadcast relationships online, feed dating rumors, or turn his personal life into a spectacle. While there has been growing interest around who he may be seeing, there is no clear public indication that he is currently in a relationship.

In other words, John Imah appears to be single.

For women who appreciate ambition, intelligence, style, and a little mystery, that detail is hard to ignore.

Imah has the qualities that define a modern bachelor worth watching: he is successful without being flashy, attractive without seeming manufactured, and confident without needing to announce it. He has the discipline of a founder, the sophistication of someone comfortable in luxury spaces, and the quiet magnetism of a man whose best chapters may still be unfolding.

His company, SPREEAI, has already positioned him at the center of one of fashion’s most exciting conversations: how artificial intelligence will shape the future of shopping, styling, and digital identity. But beyond the business momentum, Imah himself is becoming part of the story.

The combination is rare: a tech founder with fashion credibility, cultural access, and bachelor energy.

And while he may be focused on building his company right now, that has not stopped people from wondering who could eventually catch his attention.

For now, John Imah remains one of the most intriguing men emerging from the fashion and technology scene — private, stylish, ambitious, and apparently still on the market.

One thing is clear: after the Met Gala, people are not just watching what John Imah builds next.

They are watching him.

Explora Books will present Stewart T. Monti Sr.’s medieval adventure novels, Mary and Sir Edward, and Hillary and Sir Edward, at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, June 17–21, at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Blending medieval intrigue, unlikely heroes, and enduring themes of courage and compassion, the novels follow two young girls whose choices quietly alter the fate of a kingdom.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 8th May 2026 – Set in 12th-century England, the series is rooted in the belief that even the smallest acts of bravery can echo far beyond a single moment. At the heart of both novels are underdogs forced into dangerous circumstances, discovering strength they never knew they possessed. Through acts of mercy, loyalty, and determination, Monti Sr.’s characters challenge the idea that greatness belongs only to the powerful.

The first novel, Mary and Sir Edward, introduces Mary, a twelve-year-old farm girl struggling to help her family survive in the village of Darwick. When she discovers a wounded knight hiding near her home, she makes the dangerous decision to protect him from the men hunting him down. What begins as a quiet act of compassion soon grows into a mission that could determine the kingdom’s stability. Armed with little more than grit, instinct, and courage, Mary becomes an unlikely force in a conflict far larger than herself.

The sequel, Hillary and Sir Edward, follows Mary’s daughter, Hillary, who is raised between the village smithy and the discipline of sword training. Refusing to accept the limitations imposed on her, Hillary disguises herself as a male page and enters the King’s service under Sir Edward.  Her determination and skill eventually lead her into the center of royal intrigue, where she must defend both the throne and her own hard-earned place within a world that underestimates her.

Monti Sr.’s transition into historical fiction was shaped by a lifetime of varied experiences, including his service as a C-130E pilot stationed at RAF Mildenhall in England. During his time overseas, he explored the English countryside and the remnants of wartime airfields, experiences that deepened his fascination with history, legacy, and the people who lived before him. The character of Sir Edward was inspired in part by the author’s uncle, who taught him practical farm skills, marksmanship, and self-reliance while growing up in the mountains of Virginia.

Though separated by a generation, both novels share a common message: courage is not reserved for the extraordinary. Through Mary’s quiet resilience and Hillary’s defiance of convention, Monti Sr.’s stories celebrate perseverance, self-belief, and the enduring impact of ordinary people who choose to do what is right when it matters most.

Visitors to the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair can discover Monti Sr.’s inspiring medieval adventure series at the Explora Books exhibition booth, 5A.B14.

Mary and Sir Edward, and Hillary and Sir Edward are also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers.
