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.
• Offered in dual-compound and soft compound, so you can match rubber to surface instead of settling for one all-round option.
• Top speed rating in this range is M (81 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• 6 sizes covering 10- through 19-inch wheels unusually broad fitment, which is why it turns up on so many different builds.
