Kenda Kiniption 26x2.3in Tyre


THE SUPER-FAST-ROLLING
Kiniption is essentially a 26in BMXtyre, making it perfect for dirt jumps and skate parks.

The ultra low profile, diamond shaped tread pattern will fit into the shortest-chainstayed dirt jump bikes and still leave you enough clearance to get home with a slight buckle in your wheel. Pumped up to 60psi, the tyre's round profile makes it feel narrower than its nominal 2.3in width. This made manualling feel less stable than we'd have liked and made balancing on the rear wheel trickier too. At pump tracks we'd prefer something with a bit more grip on the front, but at softer, sandy dirt jumps and skate parks, the Kiniption will be everyone's friend.

PRICE: 33$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
