The PureGrip compound offers a great compromise between traction and durability.
The tyre's carcass consists of 3 layers with 180 TPI for optimal contact surface for the road.
Made of a compound with excellent handling characteristics in terms of grip but also longevity.
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre.
The medium-tall knobs make this tyre ideal for winding tracks, grass and hard sandy paths.
Thanks to the medium-high knobs profile ensures low resistance on straight stretches.
The Exo Protection in the sidewalls provides protection against cuts from sharp objects.
Thanks to the all-round knob pattern, these tyres are suitable for dry forest surfaces to the most muddy conditions.
The open knob profile stays clean during the ride, maintaining optimum grip.
The 3-layer carcass gives the tyre the necessary puncture resistance and durability.
The Blackchili compound makes the tyre smoother where it is needed for optimal rolling resistance.
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre.
