The CST Clincher is a 6-ply rated tire that features radial construction, offering a plush ride and absorbing jarring feedback from rocks, roots, braking bumps and other obstacles. The tire is built with a larger contact patch than a bias-ply tire, keeping more rubber on the ground for greater traction. The Clincher has a special interlocking “C” design that keeps the center tread rolling smooth over hard-pack, while more aggressive shoulder knobs provide extra bite.
