The AVL is a trail-inspired tire that's ready for variable conditions, with a carefully designed tread to balance traction and speed. - Blocked center tread provides traction for climbing and braking, with directional ramped and stepped knobs to keep the tire rolling fast - Wider spacing of the tread will help the tire clear debris from the trail - Intermediate knobs provide a stable layover before hitting the shoulder knobs for cornering, letting you lay the tire over just a bit further - Siping is added to support tire structure and added stability on the edge - A protective layer helps to keep you riding in the rough terrain for many fun miles
