Built for boisterous downhill riding, this terrific hill-happy tyre is ready to rumble over every obstacle in its path. Robust and Rugged Trail Tyre Kitted out with tall and tough outer knobs for digging into every corner efficiently and earlier, this ultra-grippy tyre provides superior control, handling and braking no matter how tough the terrain gets. Alternating knobs on the centreline minimise rolling resistance and are spaced well enough apart to cling to loose rocks and roots when required. Built with WTB's TriTec compound which enhances support, grip and durability, this is the tyre that every rambunctious trail attacker has been waiting for.Features: Compound: TriTec Use: Trail/EnduroWeight: 27.5”: 1340g; 29”: 1349g Technologies: TriTec: Three compounds provide optimal levels of traction, support and durability. A base of high durometer rubber supports the entire tread and transitions into the knobs to prevent folding or squirming. Medium stiffness centre knobs cap the base layer to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while soft compound side knobs deliver maximum grip and slow rebound for increased cornering tractionBuy WTB Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store
Schwalbe Dirty Dan Evo MTB Tyre - SuperGravityDan is the choice when the ground is muddy. Tall blocks and the VertStar Triple Compound bite into soft and loose terrain.

The principle is a familiar one in motorbike tires. We have taken the best features and developed them further for the MTB. For SUPER GRAVITY the sidewalls are made up of four layers of carcass material, but there are only two layers underneath the cap*. The next trick: The whole tire (not just the sidewalls) is encased in SnakeSkin fabric. Weight is negligible - and it helps a lot. In fact, it stabilizes and protects while remaining extremely flexible. At the same time it is ideal for Tubeless Ready application. So Super Gravity means: The tire walls are more robust. The cap is more flexible. The tire is lighter. Or in a single sentence: Downhill ruggedness at Enduro weight. Super Gravity weighed up: When combined with Tubeless Ready riders save an impressive 700 grams in weight in comparison with a conventional downhill tire. Not just somewhere on the frame, but on the rotating mass! *The classic downhill tire construction has six layers under the cap. This adds unnecessary weight and unfortunately also makes the cap rigid and hard.Buy Schwalbe Dirty Dan Evo MTB Tyre - SuperGravity from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Schwalbe Dirty Dan Addix MTB Tyre - SuperGravityThe Schwalbe Dirty Dan Addix MTB Tyre is the ideal choice when the ground is muddy and unpredictable. The tall tread blocks combined with the ADDIX Ultra Soft Compound bite into soft and loose terrain and provide exceptional grip at high speeds and when braking into off camber, sloppy, muddy corners.Self Cleaning TreadThe large gaps between the tread provides the necessary self cleaning and braking traction to keep the tyre performing to the highest level for the entire time its ridden in challenging conditions. The aggressive open tread profile this tyre uses provides unmatched traction and control required when travelling full speed down the side of the mountain when the weather has made the Trail treacherous.Here is a comparison between the ADDIX compounds that shows how they improve performance in relation to the VertStar, TrailStar and PaceStar Compounds.Features:Compound: ADDIX Ultra SoftConstruction: TubelessEasyExecution: SuperGravitySize: 1.60 - 3.50 Bar (23 - 50 psi)Sidewall Protection: SnakeSkinEPI: 67Ideal Terrain: Soft, mixedBead Type: FoldingTyre Pressure: 1.60 - 3.50 Bar (23 - 50 psi)Weight: 1.75kgTechnologies: ADDIX Ultra Soft: This compound with its maximum damping is perfect for hardcore use in Enduro and Downhill. Seriously improved low-temperature properties in terms of grip and damping, compared to the previous VertStar compound, make it eminently suitable for year-round use.Super Gravity: The Super Gravity carcass construction comprises of a Quadruple Ply carcass what makes the tyre sidewall stable and safe. The tread remains extremely flexible and grippy with two carcass plies. It also has all around SnakeSkin protection for excellent resistance against cuts and slices.TubelessEasy: The Monofile SnakeSkin fabric on the sidewall makes the tubeless conversion for the MTB extremely easy and safe. It also provides the best-cut protection on the sidewall.Tubeless Technology: Friction between the tyre and tube is now a thing of the past. This crucially reduces the rolling resistance. It is even smaller than with super light competition tyres. With tubeless, you can ride with less air pressure without restrictions to performance! This brings noticeable advantages in comfort, but also significantly more control in critical situations and on poor routes. Tubeless systems provide very high puncture protection. Sudden air loss due to bursting tubes or valves tearing is ruled out. At the same time, a puncture protection fluid seals incisions within a tenth of a second, during the ride.Buy Schwalbe Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Challenge Grifo Open Pro Cyclocross Bike TyreDeveloped for the rigours of modern cyclocross (CX) racing, this race-ready tyre provides exceptional grip and low rolling resistance as you tackle the more demanding of terrain and course conditions. Featuring a handmade construction, this clincher model's casing is produced with technical materials like Corespun (a cotton and polyester combination). Corespun is a thread from which Challenge obtain a very supple and strong casing with low weights. The casings have a high TPI count that can reach over 300 tpi and production avoids any vulcanisation process to enable all materials to keep their suppleness and flexibility. Handmade Cyclocross Clincher TyreThe tread is slowly hand glued on the casing which is previously mounted and inflated on a rim. By using this method, the tread is relaxed on the casing and does not suffer any tension when inflated. The result of this is a lower rolling resistance, increase in comfort, more precise handling of the bike and better grip.Increased Comfort, Flexibility and Puncture ResistanceTo give the best possible grip in curves Challenge uses materials to obtain flexibility and suppleness, which results in absorption of irregular surfaces giving to the cyclist the best possible contact patch. The wheel avoids jumping and the tyre will deform and absorb the irregularities acting in some way as a shock absorber. A special fabric is placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance PPS (Puncture Protection System) technology. Classed as one of the best all-around cyclocross tyres ever created by the brand, the Challenge Grifo Open Pro Cyclocross Bike Tyre excels in wet, dry, soft packed, rocky and root-infested course conditions.Features: Use: Cyclocross Racing: All Around Soft Pack Tyre Type: Clincher Size: 700c Type Width: 33mm Internal Rim Width: 15-19mm TPI: 300 Bead: Aramid Casing: SuperPoly Flat Protection: PPS Recommended Pressure: BAR: 2.1-2.7; PSI: 30-40 Tubeless Ready: No Single or Pair: Single Weight: 355gTechnologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): This handmade clincher is made from the same materials and processes as the brand's handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around a aramid bead to form a tyre that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance.Buy Challenge Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
