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.
• Offered in dual-compound and soft and soft sticky 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.

Why You’d Like It

• You ride off-road and want traction you can feel on loose and broken ground.

• These are tube-type, so plan on a fresh tube (and a rim lock if you are running low pressure).
• This is the rear fitment pair it with the matching front if you are replacing both ends.
• Pricing runs $149.56 for this size.
