Ground Control Sport
Best reliable traction for diverse trail conditions.
This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it tire for riders who prioritize reliability over shaving grams. While the wire bead construction adds a bit of weight compared to race-ready options, it delivers a rugged, consistent grip that handles everything from loose climbs to technical descents without a second thought.
