Explorer   


Explorer - Explorer Pro- Explorer ProTection - Explorer Supersonic - Explorer UST

Explorer 2.1"

  • XC all-rounder
  • Spikey Endless Edge tread design works very well in loose, muddy UK type terrain  
  • Front and rear application  
  • 460g Supersonic version, handmade in Germany with new Black Chil race compound

The Explorer is a favourite amongst serious cross country trail riders thanks to a well earned reputation for solid performance in tough UK conditions, and at a lighter overall weight than many of it's competitors. Featuring an EndlessEdge® tread design with five-sided lugs oriented to ensure predictable steering and responsive braking under a  full range of conditions. Available in 26 x 2.1, Kevlar beaded and ProTection versions with DuraSkin® sidewall reinforcement and tubeless certified for the Mavic UST system along with a SUPERSONIC lightweight version for race use only. The Supersonic tyre contains a new 'Black Chili' race compound as used on our top end race bike tyres. Black Chili gives extended tread life, 26% lower rolling resistance and above all, improved grip thanks to the use of carbon nano particles. 

Patterned after the top-performing Pro tyre, the Explorer is an economical version for the recreational rider with a slightly lower tpi casing and wire bead. The Explorer folding version offers a kevlar bead tyre at an economical price point.
