Our Story
Beginnings (1998)
Curiosity and a passion for chemistry pushed us to tackle a classic problem in tyres: flats. Our goal was clear—create a Tyre Protection Solution that improves tyres’ intrinsic performance.

The Problem
Tyres cushion shocks brilliantly, but they’re vulnerable to punctures. Progress demanded better ideas—hence the rise of anti-flat solutions.

Innovation as a Rule
After extensive lab and field testing—often in extreme endurance conditions—we developed a product patented nationally and internationally.
Initial name: X-Treme Tyre Protection
Since 2008: FAKIR TYRE PROTECTION
Trademarked at OSIM (Romania) and OHIM (now EUIPO)

How “Fakir” Was Born
During a live demo, someone joked we were practicing “fakirism” or the paranormal—because the tyre survived a literal bed of nails. The name stuck, and the product had found its personality.

Built to Endure
Over time, we increased durability and reliability across harsher conditions:
High pressures and temperatures
Repeated centrifugal motion
Oxidizing environments

We became our own toughest clients - testing in our labs and in accredited independent labs to validate real-world performance.

What We Stand For
We’re building a durable business around a trustworthy product.

Deep Roots in Cycling
Cycling gave us a competitive proving ground—and we proved ourselves alongside the community.

“Fakir never disappointed; it completely replaced the traditional foreign companies we used before discovering and testing Fakir.”
- Cătălin Sprânceană, Team Manager, Dinamo BikeXpert Superbet

With the MausBike club (Galați), we co-created and stress-tested cycling-specific solutions:
“My story goes back to the days of tubes and endless flats. Life brought me together with Valentina: I was great at getting flats; she was great at finding ways to prevent or instantly fix them.”
- Ionascu Marius (Maus), Team Manager & Owner, MausBike

For us, Fakir in cycling isn’t just business - it’s the spirit of the Free, Tenacious, Passionate person escaping into nature. Sponsoring races keeps us close to that spirit.
Fakir Tyre Protection stands with the daredevils.

With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, Fakir Tyre Protection blends tradition with innovation.
