Why We Like It

• Radial construction keeps the contact patch stable as speed and lean angle build, and runs cooler on long days than a comparable bias tire.
• Top speed rating in this range is V (149 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• 5 sizes in the range, so there is a good chance your exact fitment is covered rather than close-enough.
• Tubeless throughout the range fewer parts, and a roadside plug is a realistic repair.

• It fits 17- through 18-inch wheels.
