All-weather grip is enhanced by centre-crossing, diagonal grooves, both front and rear, with 5mm front and 9mm
rear tread depth.
The different tread depths also prevent irregular wear and extend tyre life. Add in the benefits of reduced tyre noise and real comfort on long rides, and big trailie riding doesn’t get better than this!
