MOUNTAIN BIKE TIRES

CROSS-COUNTRY

The tamest of the mountain biking disciplines, Cross country riding is characterized by flat trails and steep climbs. Cross-country tires put speed and finesse at the top of their priority list, with tires that feature lightweight casings, low rolling resistance, and small to medium-sized tread.

TRAIL / ALL-MOUNTAIN

The most popular subcategory in mountain biking, trail, and all-mountain riding can be summed up as a blend of cross country and enduro-style riding. Trail and all-mountain tires become wider, more durable, and often feature more aggressive tread patterns that have a balance between grip and speed.

ENDURO

Mountain riding taken to the next level. Enduro riding can be described as a blend of aggressive all-mountain riding with a touch of some downhill madness. Enduro tires feature aggressive tread patterns, with medium to large tread profiles, more durable casings, and rubber compounds that grip the dirt.

DOWNHILL

When sending it down is the only way to go. Downhill riding is as intense as mountain biking gets and is reserved for the steepest lines and roughest terrain. Downhill tires feature aggressive tread profiles with ultra-durable casings and rubber compounds that specialize in grip.
