Bontrager XR1 Comp
Best durable tires for young riders exploring varied terrain.
This is a serious upgrade for young riders who have outgrown their stock tires. By borrowing the tread design from adult-sized models, it delivers real-world traction and cornering confidence. You sacrifice the weight savings of a folding bead, but you gain a durable, do-it-all tire that handles dirt and pavement with ease.
