SunLite

MTB Raised Center Wire Bead Tire - 26x1.75

The Sunlite MTB Raised Center tire recreates the shallow, fast-rolling tread found on many late 1980s and early 1990s mountain bikes. Designed for riders who wanted the look of a mountain bike with a tire better suited to neighborhood streets and paved bike paths, the raised center tread provides a smoother ride than a traditional knobby MTB tire.

The tread pattern is especially well suited to vintage mountain bikes, early hybrids and other retro builds where period-correct appearance matters as much as everyday rideability.
