Today's World Cup downhill tracks are tough with changing conditions. Pros need a mid - spike tire for dry, loose corners and a bit of mud, and the Shorty fits the bill. With a high - volume, dual - ply downhill casing, it's more versatile than a dedicated mud spike. Its large, tall and slightly staggered side knobs dig into loose soil for stable cornering at high speeds. The centre tread's alternating pattern with widely - spaced square knobs clears debris well and offers great braking. For downhill mountain biking in rough, mixed conditions, the Shorty is unbeatable!
Using the Shorty tire is simple. Just install it on your 27.5 - inch mountain bike wheels. When riding, it performs best on downhill tracks with mixed conditions like dry, loose areas and muddy spots. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure. A proper pressure ensures better performance and reduces the risk of flats. Also, after riding in muddy conditions, clean the tire to remove dirt and debris. This will help the knobs grip the ground effectively and extend the tire's lifespan. Be careful not to over - inflate the tire as it might affect the cornering ability. Enjoy your downhill rides with the Shorty tire!
