‘RT’ stands for ‘Road and Trail’ and that is exactly where the Moto RT works best. The RT is 100% DMR designed because we wanted to offer a tyre for 24” and 26” wheels that would out-perform all others on hardpack dirt, street and skateparks. You’ll find that the Moto RT is super fast, responsive and lightweight and it’s large volume casing resists blowouts if you hangup. The 3.5mm deep tread blocks are dense enough for street and park but are spaced enough to bite on hardpack dirt.

Fast rolling, light..

Not much accelerating or braking grip, confidence wavering corner performance. Fine for steep berms, but I dont really trust these tires at trail corners, I've washed out more than once...

Strengths:
Very fast tire, decent protection, these tires have the profile of real motorcycle tires, so there is lean angle on the road possibly up to 45 degrees, and the knob spacing is close enough together so that any of you motorbike riders out there can have leaning fun on your mountain bike without silly side knobs or too narrow semi slicks.
Weaknesses:
Almost like a semi-slick, so not great in wet conditions!

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
Slower but much more fun than a slick or semi-slick on the road (dry), great on hardpack and hardpack with a little dirt dusting. OK in moist or damp dirt. Not so fun on wet roads, wet rocks and wet roots.
