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$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
