The skinniest version of the King of Traction line. Fairly low center knobs to very tall edge "cones" in the very open tread pattern. A mudder for when to going gets very soft and deep.

Big, tough, aggressive. The WTB Dissent and Kodiak 29 x 2.5 FR/DH tires are the first of a new category of tires for the big wheels. Both produced by WTB, the Kodiak is a Niner Bikes exclusive. These are the largest overall 29er tires yet available, though limitations in manufacturing equipment means the casing volume is not as great as some other small-tread models. I have mounted and measured both of the new tires on my usual control 24mm wide rim and the 36mm wide Salsa Gordo. The narrower rim gives both tires distinctly rounder profiles, especially noticeable with the Kodiak. Its tread width increased while the Dissent tread measured the same. More telling are the widest point radius increase of both tires. This affects frame clearances as well. The casing width and slight casing height increase of each tire when mounted on the wider Gordo also pushes the air volume. |

Kenda's mud/soft surface tire from the John Tomac collection The King of Traction 26 x 2.10 delivers on its name--in the right conditions. Available in 1.80, 2.10 and 2.35 widths, the mid size is the most versatile. Good air volume while still being narrow enough to punch through the surface slop to find solid ground underneath. The tall tread--especially on the edges-- creates a flat-top profile with plenty of grip for control. I found the larger 2.35 KOT with its even taller tread to be truly scary on harder wet terrain when mounted on narrowish rims (24mm). This is not an issue with the 2.10 version. The dual compound rubber provides reasonable grip on roots and rocks but this tire is at its best when the going gets wet, deep and sloppy.
