Bontrager FR3 Tubeless Tire
Product DescriptionBontrager's FR3 is a big, beefy tire for aggressive riders and rough trails. Its center ridge rolls fast, then as you lean into a corner, you get a smooth transition then pronounced side knobs bite into terra firma as you rail around the berm. The FR3 is a tough tire too, with a wire bead and enhanced sidewall protection, so don't worry as you blast into that rock garden.

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: September 23, 2012 Strengths: Center ridge allows this tire to roll very nicely on asphalt, while the beefy side knobs grip very well in loose soil and gravelly conditions. Sidewalls seem tougher than average. Nice tire height and width, I would call them a true 2.35. Weaknesses: Well they are heavy......cant very well have tough and beefy tire with big volume and still have low weight now can they? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Caldera at Bootleg, Rainbow Rim at Grand Canyon

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 13, 2012 Strengths: Great sidewalls, very fast rolling and grips in the corners, very predictable. If you combined a Kenda Nevegal, WTB Weirwolf, and WTB Mutano, this is what you would get. Weaknesses: Braking traction suffers when you run too much psi, the side knobs have slid on me a couple of times when I get really low on pavement, a bit heavy Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: who knows?
