With this 60 TPI CONTROL casing, 2Bliss Ready version you the evolved Ground Control tread with the advanced cut and pinch protection at a slight weight penalty over the S-Works version, with more durability and even a touch more tread capability. This is tire that can easily be run as a front tire on an XC bike for a race weekend where a more diverse grip level and front cornering control is required. Pair it up with an CONTROL Fast Trak or Renegade and create the necessary combination of speed and traction for the surface conditions.

The larger outer structure supports the inner block for additional speed, traction, support and stable handling. The CONTROL casing is their light and durable do it all XC construction. To top off this build they have employed their fastest rolling, race ready T5 compound with excellent wear and tear protection.
