Bontrager XR5 Team Issue MTB Tire
Best dependable traction for aggressive trail riding.
This is the rare trail tire that manages to feel fast on the climbs without sacrificing the bite you need for aggressive cornering. It prioritizes a balanced, predictable grip that works equally well on the front or rear, though you trade a bit of absolute durability for that lightweight, nimble feel.
