MTB Tyres 27.5"

❓1. Why choose a 27.5-inch tyre and for what type of riding?

• The 27,5" offers an excellent compromise between manoeuvrability and agility, ideal for trail, theall-mountain and theenduro.
  
• More dynamic than the 29", it makes direction changes, jumps and technical sections easier.

• In DH and committed enduro, it remains appreciated for its playful character and control in tight sections.

❓2. Which width and which type of knobs should you choose?

• 2.20"–2.35" → for fast XC and rolling terrain.
  
• 2.35"–2.50" → versatile trail/all-mountain, good grip/rolling resistance compromise.
  
• 2.50"+ (2.6 to 2.8) → "plus" format: maximum grip, comfort, but slightly less rolling efficiency.

• Low-profile knobs → dry terrain, speed.
  
• Tall + spaced knobs → mud, loose terrain, roots.
  
• Mixed tread → for varied terrain throughout the year.

❓3. Which casing, compound and setup should you choose?

• Lightweight casing (XC) → for rolling efficiency and climbs.
  
• Reinforced casing (EXO+, SuperTrail, DoubleDown…) → for rocky terrain, enduro or powerful riders.

• Hard compound → durability + speed.
  
• Soft compound / dual compound → optimal grip in corners and braking.
  

• Tubeless setup → highly recommended: better traction, comfort, puncture resistance and lower pressures.
