- WT (Wild Trail Construction): Optimizes the tread design and tire profile on today's modern and wider rims.
Traditional rims are designed with older, narrower rims and can create too squared off rim profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tires are optimized for an internal rim width of 35mm, but have been shown to work in the range of 30-35mm internal rim width, depending on the rider's preference - 3CG: The 3C MaxxGrip component uses compounds from softer rubber to provide the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unmatched traction in downhill applications - DD (Double Down): This is the next step in the evolution of the double layer shell for enduro racing . Two 120 TPI shell layers reinforced with a butyl insert provide the enduro rider with the support and protection of a downhill tire, but in a lighter pack - Tubeless Ready: Combines a carbon fiber cord for strength, a safety cord and rubber compatible with liquid sealant for air retention, eliminating the need for an air chamber. The puncture protection layer helps prevent damage from road debris. Liquid sealant can be used to prevent any loss of air pressure.
