What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I run the Escape Inter on my short-travel trail bike since it climbs incredibly well and carries serious speed on flowy terrain. I get XC-like rolling efficiency with more bite when things get loose. It's my secret weapon for fast singletrack and big alpine loops."For riders who blur the lines between XC efficiency and trail bike aggression, the Goodyear Escape Inter in the Dynamic:UHP compound offers the ideal balance of speed, grip, and agility. This tire feels fast everywhere from backcountry singletrack to high-alpine missions, and its low-profile tread delivers rolling efficiency without compromising control when things get steep or loose. The Trail Lite casing keeps weight to a minimum while preserving the tire's supple ride feel and handling precision. With the Dynamic:UHP compound underfoot, we get a tread that's engineered for speed and durability, perfect for riders who hammer uphill and want to stay light on the way down. The Escape Inter is at home on a modern downcountry or short-travel trail bike, and it pairs perfectly with the burlier Escape Max up front for riders seeking a fast, raceable combo that doesn't back down when the trail demands more.
