Bontrager G5 Team Issue MTB Tire
Best durable traction for aggressive trail riders.
This is a tire built for pure, unadulterated gravity riding where control matters more than rolling speed. The dual-ply casing and aggressive tread pattern offer immense confidence on loose, rocky descents, though you will definitely feel the extra weight and drag on the climbs back up.
