For the skilled: A hearty tyre that wants to be raced

Impressive in cross-country races and marathons, this tyre is built for pure speed and control on both hardtail and full-suspension race bikes.

All Tubeless-Ready models have been newly re-engineered for effortless first-time inflation with a standard track pump.
