Bontrager XR1 MTB Tire
Best durable traction for young off road adventurers.
This is the rare youth tire that doesn't compromise on performance, offering the same fast-rolling, grippy technology found on adult race bikes. It trades aggressive, mud-shedding tread for pure speed on hardpack, making it the perfect upgrade for young riders ready to carry more momentum through corners and climbs.
