Fast courses on hard-packed ground require a light, fast tyre centre to keep speeds high, but must also keep the speed through loose sandy corners and track well under hard braking. For these reasons, we've kept the high shoulder knobs. Our GRIPTON compound, meanwhile, improves high frequency damping, better attaching the tyre to the ground over small bumps and rough sections alike.
