GRIPTON® Dual T5/T7 Compound – Faster-rolling T5 in the center for speed and a grippier T7 on the shoulders for cornering traction.

Lightweight Flex Lite Casing 60 TPI – This supple casing contributes to a smooth ride feel and helps reduce rolling resistance for enhanced speed. The 60 threads per inch offer a good balance between weight savings and durability, providing protection against punctures, pinch flats, and cuts.  

Lightweight Construction – This low weight contributes to faster acceleration and improved climbing efficiency, crucial for XC racing and fast trail riding 575-585g.

Tubeless Ready TLR – Designed for use with or without inner tubes, TLR technology allows for lower tire pressures, which can improve traction, reduce rolling resistance, and minimize the risk of pinch flats.

Optimized Tread Design – The tread pattern features tightly spaced center knobs for minimal rolling resistance and more open shoulder knobs to provide grip when leaning into turns on hardpack surfaces.  

Folding Bead – Not only reduces the overall weight of the tire but also makes it easier to install and transport.

Versatile – Many riders looking for a lightweight and fast setup will happily run the Air Trak Flex Lite both front and rear, especially on hardpack and smoother trails. If you frequently encounter very loose or technical terrain, you might consider pairing it with a more aggressive tire in the front for added steering control or in the rear for better climbing and braking traction.
