Sidewall reinforcement to resist cuts and abrasions—ideal for trail and rocky terrain.

Ideal For
- Trail and Downcountry Riders seeking a fast-rolling yet grippy front or rear tire.
- Cross-country Racers riding in loose, wet, or transitional conditions.
- Mountain bikers in regions with frequent rain or soft terrain, where a semi-aggressive tire outperforms faster, slicker XC treads.
- Use as front tire for grip and confidence or as a rear tire for all-around control.
