Sealant fluid is not required for tubeless UST tires, but is recommended for increased puncture protection. Note: Tubeless Ready tires require tubeless compatible rims/wheels, tubeless valves, tubeless rim tape and sealing fluid for tubeless mounting. It also provides an improved flat protection and better air retention. Saves weight and improves the rolling performance. K-Armor allows for a tighter weave and the use of less rubber, resulting in a lighter tire and a casing that is supple enough to allow the knobs to flex and form under load, yet still protects from pinch flats or casing tears.Ī hard long lasting and fast rolling rubber (60sA) comprises the center of the tread area, while a softer-tackier should rubber (50sA) completes this binary compound for the versatility of speed and grip off road. The Advanced Trail Casing (ATC) uses an extra layer on the sidewalls and a K-Armor belt under the tread area. Furthermore sipes bring additional bite when cornering or braking and laterally non-staggered shoulder/center knobs stand for predictability. Ramped center knobs minimize the rolling resistance and a low void pattern maximizes stability and traction. A high surface area contact ensures maximum traction and stability while the large edges are taking care of maximum braking traction. The ATC version uses is a dual tread construction with a softer shoulder and a firmer center tread. This tire features a similar compound design found in other Kenda gravity tires.
Excellent predictability due to consistent contact patch.
The Pinner is an excellent choice for gravity racers and trail riders alike. The Pinner shines with excellent cornering predictability and particularly high puncture protection. Exclusively developed with Aaron Gwin, the Pinner was done for World Cup tracks like Leogang and Lenzerheide and designed to hold its own against the toughest competitors. The Pinner is Kenda’s all new dry condition gravity tire.
