Kenda Smallblock 8 ワイヤービード MTBタイヤ

Been running these on my 20" bike for a few weeks now and the wire bead makes mounting a breeze compared to folding tyres. The small block tread pattern hooks up nicely on loose gravel, yet I’m not losing speed on the pavement sections.

Finally a tyre that rolls fast on pavement but still bites hard when I hit the loose gravel sections. The wire bead made installation a bit stiff, but it seated perfectly on my rims without any issues.

Put these on for a fast training loop on mixed hardpack, and the rolling speed is genuinely impressive for a 20-inch tyre. Grip held up nicely through the loose corners too, so the small blocks do their job without feeling draggy. A solid upgrade that makes the bike feel quicker.
