Cross Country (XC) Tyres

PANARACER-Fire XC Pro

The Fire XC Pro design offers excellent traction and cornering in just about any terrain without the penalty of high rolling resistance or soft fast wearing tread compounds.
When you see the ASB logo, it means that the tire has a proprietary anti-rebound rubber strip that reduces the chance of pinch flats by an average of 40%!
BAX technology uses extremely narrow 0.14 diameter cord which is weaved at a super high density into the casing for lightness and flexibility. This increased density improves resistance to cuts and abrasions.
Panaracer’s exclusive Multi-Step knobs have various heights designed into each knob These stepped knobs help tires to perform in all conditions from hard to soft. Short big knobs are specially designed to provide an excellent ride that also delivers the lightest weight full knobby MTB tires.

PANARACER-Cinder

Cinder is just a great all-around MTB tire. By incorporating ZSG Ultima technology, we’ve produced a tire that can perform in hot or cold and wet and dry conditions.
When you see the ASB logo, it means that the tire has a proprietary anti-rebound rubber strip that reduces the chance of pinch flats by an average of 40%!
ZSG Ultima provides incredible grip in wet or dry road conditions and superior handling performance. ZSG Ultima will wear at least 10% longer without sacrificing any riding performance.

KENDA-Small Block Eight

# Excellent hard pack XC race tire
# 8 Nevegal shaped but smaller knobs across the tire for better 'bite'
# DTC - Dual Tread Compound offers cornering grip with faster center line acceleration
# One of the fastest rolling tires in the Kenda Premium line

KENDA-NevegalVoted #1 tread pattern 3 years in a row by MBA Magazine!

Cross Country folding bead version is single ply with STICK-E Compound or DTC (Dual Tread Compound)
STICK-E Compound for better grip.
