About The Product
- An aggressive yet well rounded downhill and gravity tire with well spaced, partially hollow and siped tall knobs for extreme grip
- ATC - Optimized for enduro and trail riding, the Advanced Trail Casing (ATC) uses a layer of SCT on the sidewalls and a K-Armor belt under the tread area
