Description:

Are you familiar with the Kraken? This sea monster terrified sailors with its size, agility and impressive grip with its tentacles. The tyre offers the same characteristics. It has a 66TPI carcass and Hardskin reinforcement. A lot of work has gone into the tread in particular. We've taken what worked on other models, such as the Skeleton, for the tread. Then there's the opening and shape of the lugs on the sides, which allow moisture and light mud to be evacuated. The Kraken is designed for XC riding. It can be used as a front and rear set, but can also be combined with a Skeleton at the rear. Everything else is a matter of pressure. Once you find the right ratio for your riding weight, you will achieve formidable efficiency. Safety, grip, progressiveness, versatility and robustness. The aim of this tyre is to find its place on all bikes for all riders. Passion above all else.
