- Ensures secure bead retention
- Wider internal width offers aerodynamic benefits
DRC (Dynamic Response Comfort)
Controlled vertical flex and rebound
- More dynamic handling during weight transfers and bermed corners
- Increased comfort on rough terrain
- Reduced energy loss, more speed and efficiency
Optimized Internal Width
Maximizes tire volume and performance
- Enables lower pressures without sacrificing rolling efficiency
- Controls tire deformation for greater stability
- Improves control and comfort on all terrains
VFP (Varnish Free Process)
A varnish-free finish process
- Reduces VOC emissions and carbon dust during production
- More scratch-resistant surface
- Naturally glossy finish
Offset
Asymmetrical spoke lacing
