Today's World Cup downhill tracks are extremely challenging with steep slopes and ever - changing conditions. Pro riders need a mid - spike tire that can perform well in dry, loose corners and also handle a bit of mud. The Shorty is the perfect choice. With its high - volume, dual - ply downhill casing, it's more versatile than our dedicated mud spike, the Wet Scream. Its large, tall and slightly staggered side knobs dig into loose soil, providing stable and predictable cornering at high speeds. The center tread has an alternating pattern of widely - spaced square knobs that clear debris easily and offer great braking power. For downhill mountain biking in tough, mixed conditions, the Shorty stands out!
Using the Shorty tire is easy. Just mount it on your downhill mountain bike following the standard tire - mounting procedures. When riding, this tire is great for various conditions like dry, loose tracks and muddy areas. But be aware that although it's versatile, extremely deep mud might reduce its performance a bit. For maintenance, regularly check the tire for any cuts, punctures or excessive wear. Clean the tire after each ride, especially if you've been in muddy conditions. You can use a mild soap and water to clean it. Also, keep the tire properly inflated according to the recommended pressure for a smooth and safe ride.
