Kenda 163026 Big City Slick Wire Bead Bicycle Tire, Blackwall, 26 x 1.95″ (PAIR)
Patterned after motorcycle tires, the Kenda K838 Slick Wire Bead Bicycle tires offer increased speed and reduced rolling resistance for MTB and hybrid bikes–without sacrificing traction. Unlike a typical MTB knobby tire, the K838 Slick provides a smooth and consistent rolling surface that allows the tire to gain and maintain speed on paved and hard packed surfaces. Meanwhile the tire’s wider, 1.95-inch profile and directional grooves provide the traction demanded by all terrain riding. The grooves also effectively channel water to the outer edge of the tire so that you can maintain a grip on wet roads, through puddles, and on wet trails. The blackwall sides reduce the overall weight profile of the tire and the wire bead pattern increases the tire’s strength and durability. While not meant for serious off road riding, the Kenda K838 is a good choice for riders who want a smooth and fast experience on the road, but who also want to keep their MTB or hybrid trail ready.

Great road tires I used these tires on my “lipstick on a pig” build. I built up an older late 90’s sears mountain bike (Free Spirit Octane).These tires are an awesome alternative to mountain bike tires on a 26â wheel. Especially if youâre building a little commuter bike from an old mountain bike frame like I did, or if youâre just using them on any road oriented mountain bike. Anyways, these tires are smooth on the road and I get really good traction when turning as well. I put about 20…
Great for urban riders on hybrid/MTB who need versatility I ride a mountain bike in an urban landscape. I commute to work by road and on terrible sidewalks. I also ride hard through whatever comes my way when I am riding for fun. So I really need a great hybrid tire that has traction and very low roll resistance. Vast improvement over knobby tires.I have been experimenting with various hybrid tires looking for the cushion and some traction of a Knobby MTB tire, while getting the smooth speed of a road tire.I tried a 1.75″ hybrid tire…
Great street tires! I ordered 2 of these but for some reason only received 1 of them today. I put it on the bike this afternoon. I got them to replace some knobby mountain bike tires for street riding alone or while pulling my son in his trailer. I installed it on the front tire and took it for a short spin. I had read some other reviews that it really reduces drag and even just replacing 1 tire I could tell it was better! I can’t wait to get both tires on and take it for a spin!As far as installation…
