FAQs

Is this tyre suitable for an E-Bike?

Yes, this tyre is designed for E-bikes as well as traditional Enduro bikes, offering the durability and grip required for the increased demands of electric assist.

Can I use this tyre on the front wheel?

While it *can* be used on the front, it is specifically optimized for rear-wheel performance in terms of rolling efficiency and tread pattern. For optimal front-end grip and steering, a dedicated front tyre is generally recommended.

What is the ETRTO size for this tyre?

The ETRTO size is 61-622, which corresponds to a 29-inch diameter and a 2.40-inch width.

How does Magi-X compound perform in wet conditions?

The Magi-X compound is engineered to provide maximum grip across a range of temperatures and conditions, including wet. It is designed to maintain reliable traction even when conditions are less than ideal.

What is the TPI rating and what does it mean?

The TPI (Threads Per Inch) is 2 x 55. This refers to the density of the casing threads. A higher TPI generally leads to a more supple, lighter tyre that conforms better to the terrain for improved grip, but can sometimes be less resistant to sharp cuts than lower TPI casings.

How often should I check my tubeless sealant?

It is recommended to check and top up your tubeless sealant every 3-6 months, depending on the sealant brand and riding conditions. Dry conditions or frequent punctures may require more frequent checks.

Troubleshooting

Tyre won't seat on the rim.

Ensure the rim is clean and compatible. Use a tubeless-specific rim tape. Try increasing inflation pressure slightly or using a compressor. Check that bead is properly seated all around.

Slow air leak after tubeless setup.

Check for small punctures or unsealed areas. Spin the wheel to distribute sealant. Add more sealant if necessary. Inspect the valve core for tightness.

Excessive wear on knobs.

This tyre is designed for aggressive use; some wear is normal. Ensure you are riding on appropriate terrain. Riding predominantly on abrasive surfaces like pavement will accelerate wear.

Tyre feels sluggish on hardpack.

While designed for mixed terrain, ensure tire pressure is optimized. Lower pressures offer more grip but can feel slower on hardpack. Slightly higher pressures may improve rolling speed but reduce grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip in diverse conditions, including low temperatures.
  • Optimized for rear wheel rolling efficiency, aiding speed and energy conservation.
  • Robust puncture and pinch flat protection for enhanced reliability.
  • Designed with input from professional Enduro racers for race-proven performance.
  • Tubeless Ready for improved ride quality and reduced flats.

Cons

  • The soft Magi-X compound may experience faster wear on abrasive or predominantly hardpack surfaces.
  • Primarily optimized for rear-wheel application; front-specific needs may require a different tyre.
  • May be overkill for casual trail riding where extreme grip is not the primary focus.
  • Higher TPI count can be more susceptible to sidewall cuts from sharp debris compared to lower TPI tires.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This tyre is Tubeless Ready (TLR). For tubeless setup, ensure you have the appropriate rim tape, sealant, and valves. Mount the tyre onto a compatible rim, add sealant, and inflate to the recommended pressure to seat the bead.

Compatibility:

  • Wheel Size: Designed for 29-inch wheels.
  • Width: Fits rims designed for a 2.40-inch tyre width (ETRTO 61-622).
  • Discipline: Suitable for Enduro and E-Bikes.
  • Terrain: Optimal for mixed and hard-packed terrain.
  • Fitting: This is a rear-specific tyre.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, wear, and foreign objects.
  • Clean the tyre with water and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • For tubeless setups, check sealant levels periodically and top up as needed according to sealant manufacturer instructions.
  • Store the bike in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
