Technologies

Endurant
Endurant technology uses a one-piece flat protection barrier covering the entire casing, with an extended overlap for stability and sidewall protection. You get max durability for mixed terrain without a major weight penalty.

Gripton compound
The Gripton compound uses 'mostly synthetic rubber reinforced with silicon dioxide', which reduces the amount of energy lost through hysteresis. This basically means less deformation, less heat build-up, and a more efficient tyre with improved rolling resistance when compared to natural rubber. The Gripton compound is soft, allowing it to adapt and conform to rough surfaces. It has a durometer of 56 A, making it much softer than other tyres, meaning the tyre not only conforms to the surface it is rolling over, but also filters vibration, which produces a smoother ride.
