On the trail, that means more confidence through technical terrain, a reduced risk of tire and rim damage, and a smoother, more controlled ride that leaves you ready for another lap. Key Features: Progressive casing stiffness allows tire pressure to be optimized for performance without sacrificing sidewall support or rim protection. Supports lower tire pressures (2–3 PSI less than the previous-generation DH Casing) for enhanced traction, slower tire rebound, and a more planted, damped ride feel. Improved puncture protection. Comparable weight to the previous DH Casing. Dual-ply 120 TPI construction. MaxxGrip rubber compound. Tubeless Ready. E25 and E50 rated.
