CST Patrol Folding MTB Tire

The CST Patrol is specifically designed to excel in dry, hard-packed conditions. While the tread pattern offers decent versatility, it is not optimized for deep mud or wet, slick terrain where a more aggressive, open-tread design would perform better.

Yes, this tire features a tubeless-ready construction. You can set it up tubeless with the appropriate sealant and rim tape to reduce weight and lower your tire pressure for better traction.

EPS stands for Exceptional Puncture Safety. It is a specialized layer of material placed between the tread and the casing that helps prevent thorns, glass, and sharp trail debris from penetrating the tire and causing a flat.

The dual-compound rubber uses a harder compound in the center for faster rolling and longevity, while a softer compound is used on the shoulder knobs. This combination gives you efficient speed on straightaways without sacrificing the grip you need when leaning into corners.

This tire is designed for 26-inch rims with a width of 2.25 inches. Before purchasing, ensure your frame and fork have enough clearance to accommodate a 2.25-inch width, as some older frames may have limited space.
