Kenda Short Tracker 26 x 2.50 Folding Tyre Features: This Downhill version is made with Stick-E rubber and CAP PLY casing with bead insert Key Feature CAP Ply: CAP Ply - Originally developed for our motorcycle tyres, CAP Ply is puncture resistant material designed to prevent pinch flats Key Feature Stick-E rubber: Slow rebounding rubber compound for the ultimate in traction control. The slow rebound ratio of the rubber, acts as a suspension, allowing the tread to conform to the trail surface rather than bouncing off of it.
Advantages: kevlar reinforced belt, reflective sidewalls, design, on or off road suitable Disadvantages: price is quite high but quality, safety and peace in mind costs
...If you have problems with punctures, feel like wheel is to heave or something to use on o off road - this tyres are definitely for you.
I bought them for my bike about 2 years ago. As remember paid about £18 per tyre. They lasted for over one year where cycling about 160 kilometres a week. I was extremely pleased with them. Honestly can not say anything wrong about these tyres. Rolling resistance is very low, so thanks that you should be more about to achieve higher speed. Continental supplied some models with reflective sidewall to increase your safety during nigh. I got this model and have to say that it really works well. As long as you keep your tyres quite clean they will reflect light brilliantly.
The weight of a tyre is:
- 640g folding option
- 690g wired and reflective option
- 670g wired only option

Advantages: Outstanding performance in mud Disadvantages: performance on other surfaces is middle to poor
...All tyres are a compromise. The mud Pro is a mud specific tyre, and at this it excels. However it's excellent mud performance is at the expense of it's performance on other terrains.
On MUD: There are 2 thoughts for riding through mud
1) fat tyres run at low pressures to float over the surface.
2) thin tyres at high pressures to cut through the muck and find grip below.
These are firmly in option 2. And in mud they are outstanding. I have personally ridden through 3/4 mile of constant mud, some if it up to 18 inches deep, and while my mates were left carrying their bikes, I just ploughed on through.
Seems to work best at around 50 psi. The narrow profile and tall knobs really do cut through the surface, and where other tyres will just spin these will find grip. As long as you have the power to keep the rear wheel turning...

Advantages: Light weight, durable well made tyres Disadvantages: A little pricey
..., and the tread pattern is very similar to the Comp 24. They have Michelin's Silica Compound which helps decrease rolling resistance, and also have a 127 Tpi (threads per inch) cord casing that is found on all other Michelin top of the range tyres.
Even though these are sized at 26x2.2 (52 x 559), they are a smaller in width than the 2.2 size you would find on the Michelin DH tyres (54 x 559). The size of these is more comparable to a set of Maxxis 2.1 XC tyres.
Installation was pretty straight forward, with the only serious effort needed when mounting the tyre to my rims, as like other Michelin tyres, the beading can be a tight fit when put on for the first time.
My first impressions on using them were that they felt incredibly grippy. They are stable when cornering hard, and braking heavily. If you choose to use the directional tread...

In a word - FANTASTIC - a brilliant powerful portable computer, I recently upgraded by old laptop, which looks like a relic of the 1960's. The Dell Inpspiron 1501 has everything that matters for the average user. Fantastic looks and also has the muscle more
