Tread Design:

Anyone can design a wild-looking tread pattern and give it a fancy name. The trick is to do the hard engineering and real-world testing that are going to make a difference in real-world performance. This is one more area where the results don't lie. And one more reason why racing team-based development is so crucial to high-performance Tyre design.

Case in point, our revolutionary Team Control front and Team Master rear Tyres. The Control uses triangular-shaped centre and intermediate knobs for easy rolling and an aggressive grip of softer terrain. The complementary Master rear uses redesigned centre blocks with tie bars to maximize in-line acceleration and braking traction. Together, they add up to a Tyre technology so revolutionary, they changed the face of Offroad Tyre design. and so important, Mountain Bike Action named the Team Control/Team Master combination the Best Tyres of All Time.
