NEW DH Casing:

• This New DH Casing achieves improved compliance over chattery rocks and roots, better support under high cornering loads & impacts, and more durability… because flat tyres are never fast.
• For the rest of us, this all translates to increased confidence bombing through technical sections of trail, less risk of a tyre or rim failure, and getting to the bottom of the mountain feeling less beat up and ready do it all over again.

Key Features:

• Progressive casing stiffness that allows pressure to be set for performance versus sidewall stability or rim strike prevention.

• Allows lower pressures (2-3 psi less than previous gen DH casing) which results in slower tyre rebound and more planted, damped feel.

• Improved puncture protection.

• Comparable weight to previous DH casing.

• Dual ply 120 TPI casing

• MaxxGrip rubber compound

• Tubeless Ready

• E25 & E50 Rated
