DESCRIPTION - Loose berms, choppy trails, and rugged rock gardens stand no chance against the Basanite. The Basanite is designed as a rear tire with ramped knobs for improved speed that alternate in shape and size for braking control. Alternating shoulder lugs and central knobs provide grip at any angle. And the large knobs all include hatch marks, or cupped profiles, improving grip on harder-packed terrain.
STAGE TR ARMOR - Features a Trail-Rated construction and dual-compound tread formulated for efficient climbing, predictable cornering, and long days on singletrack.
TUBELESS READY - The ultimate construction delivers a combination of speed, comfort and flat protection when combined with tubeless specific sealants.
WIDTHS – American Classic's mountain bike tire widths meet current global standards set by E.T.R.T.O. following their designated design size rim widths. 2.25in (57mm) tires are designed for rims with 25mm internal widths while 2.4in (61mm) and 2.5in (64mm) tires are designed for 30mm internal width rims. The use of narrower or wider rims will change the overall width of the tire.
RIM FIT – American Classic tires follow the current dimensions set by E.T.R.T.O. and ISO 5775. These specifications improve rider safety through functional pairing of tires and rims that both meet these standards. The resulting tighter tolerances also lead to a tighter fit on rims. This may require some users to change their installation process from what they used with tires and rims that followed previous standards.
