Get a Grip

For the best experience on these hard-packed irrigation roads, we recommend prioritizing volume and a supple casing over aggressive knobs.

RECOMMENDED · TIRES

Continental Terra — 45mm minimum

We suggest a minimum width of 45mm, set up tubeless for a fast-rolling ride, to handle the varied surfaces smoothly and efficiently or go all the way to a 55mm equivalent to let your wheels conquer whatever the course throws at you.

SIZING · 45MM MINIMUMFor your tire selection, a minimum width of forty-five millimeters is the ideal choice, featuring a fast-rolling center tread for efficiency and outer knobs for confident cornering grip. If the weather turns foul, we recommend switching to a more aggressive, deeply knobby tire, with clearance allowing for tire widths up to fifty-five millimeters depending on your frame's capacity.
