Why We Like It

• The bias-ply carcass soaks up surface imperfections better than a radial, and it is a large part of why this tire costs what it does.
• DOT approved, which means it is street legal not a closed-course tire you have to trailer to.
• Top speed rating in this range is M (81 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.

Why You’d Like It

• You ride off-road and want traction you can feel on loose and broken ground.
• It fits 21-inch wheels.
• These are tube-type, so plan on a fresh tube (and a rim lock if you are running low pressure).
• This is the front fitment pair it with the matching rear if you are replacing both ends.
• Pricing runs $94.31 for this size.
