Engineered with proprietary Flex-Tread technology, this tire maintains optimal contact patch during hard braking or acceleration – critical for maintaining momentum through switchbacks. The silica-infused rubber compound delivers 20% longer tread life than standard XC tires while retaining responsiveness.
Perfect for adventure cyclists who split time between organized races and self-supported gravel grinding, the Riddler delivers predictable handling whether you’re descending at 30mph or navigating mud-slicked fire roads after a rainstorm.
