Grip To Push Your Limits. 4 Names, 5 Patterns, Infinite Possibilities
Grip begins with engineering at a molecular level. New compounds formed into cutting edge tread, laid onto a supple carcass. Innovation, driven by science, has created five cutting edge treads for gravity fuelled riders. The Science of Grip.
XYNOTAL: Perfect for hardpack, rocky surfaces. With low rolling resistance and contact edges for improved traction and braking, you can enjoy a fast gravity ride with the confidence of continuous grip when you needit most.
KRYPTOTAL: All-around tire balances stability of grip, traction for braking, and rolling resistance. Ideal for mixed terrain conditions for you to push your limits in the trail, enduro, or downhill gravity riding.
ARGOTAL: Ideal tire for loose terrain, with cornering stability and increased side-grip. The open tread pattern allows for self-cleaning so you can push your riding limits through dust and loam.
HYDROTAL: A specialist tire for downhill and a super soft compound option for racing. Balances grip and rolling resistance with a self-cleaning tread that ensures continuous grip when you’re shredding through muddy, slippery conditions
Tubeless Ready
Our carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.
We recommend the usage of our Revo-Sealant.
Suitable for E-Bikes
THE BEST COMPOUND FOR EVERY RIDING STYLE:
SuperSoft: Our softest and grippiest compound in the MTB Gravity range. Especially for Downhill and Enduro use cases where the main focus is descending. Tires equipped with this compound are for riders with a 100% focus on grip, traction, and control. Recommended for use cases with a large share of descent.
Soft: The balance of grip and rolling resistance for gravity focussed use cases. High level of grip with a reasonable rolling resistance. Option to optimize the rolling properties of your rear wheel on the DH bike or have the optimal combo for Enduro or Trail riding.
Endurance: Compound with balanced properties on grip and endurance. With the endurance compound a high durability in combination with good rolling resistance and grip is achieved. A Compound choice for trail riding or as a endurance focused compound for e-Bikes
CASING:
Downhill: Most durable and reinforced carcass construction in gravity line up
Enduro: Durable single-ply carcass construction with Apex to prevent snakebites
Trail: Comparable performance to the Enduro casing tailored for trail use cases
