Lighter, grippier, faster. The ‘turbo’ of spike tires. With 361 spikes it bites firmly into icy roads. The tungsten carbide core of each spike is clad in weigh-saving aluminum. The scale stops at 695 g, and that is why the MTB remains agile and sporty.
Tires need to be run-in for 25 miles / 40 km on hard-top road to ensure spikes are permanently fixed. Avoid rapid acceleration and braking during this period.
