Kenda Hellkat Pro MTB Folding Tyre features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Tyres. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Kenda Hellkat Pro MTB Folding Tyre.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Kenda Hellkat Pro MTB Folding Tyre is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Tyres. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Tyres. Brands like Kenda are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Tyres category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

• Description: Kenda Hellkat Pro MTB Folding TyreDeveloped alongside the professional riders of the UR Team, this Hellkat tyre by Kenda is a top choice for gravity and enduro riders alike. Specially-designed for taking on a variety of under-wheel conditions, it provides a top rolling performance as you twist and turn your way down the mountain. Available in a range of technologically advanced casings, this fantastic folding tyre stands up to any challenge your chosen route throws at you. Versatile, Dual Compound, Grippy MTB Tyre Made from a dual-layer compound, the Hellkat Pro gives unbeatable grip and composure across the toughest terrains, with its tubeless-ready design enhancing the hold as you take corners with pace and power. The alternating rows of knobs along the centreline work hard to reduce rolling resistance, while the taller blocks on the outer edge improve braking performance, even in the wettest conditions. This quality-made Kenda tyre is a must-have for any enduro maverick. Features: Compound:¬†dual-layer Compound Use:¬†Gravity, Enduro Bead:¬†Folding TPI:¬†60, 120 Tubeless-Ready:¬†YesTechnologies: EN-DTC:¬†Designed around the rigours of enduro racing. Featuring a lower rolling resistance value than previous dual tread compounds, tyres with EN-DTC show less wear than other similar tyres. With shore A values lower than the original DTC, the EN-DTC provides a more responsive ride, letting the knobs do the work of control and braking on the ground. AGC: The Advanced Gravity Casing (AGC) is Kenda’s latest innovation for gravity orientated riders. Utilizing strips of Kenda Vector Shield (KVS), a lightweight woven aramid material, positioned under the tread area and along the sidewalls to protect the tyre from cuts and punctures. The KVS material offers nearly three times more cut resistance than standard protective materials. A 20mm apex along the bead prevents pinch flats and burping. Our lightest and strongest gravity casing up to date. AEC:¬†Developed for the rigours of enduro, the new Advanced Enduro Casing (AEC) fills the gap between the burly Advanced Gravity Casing (AGC) and the weight-optimised Advanced Trail Casing (ATC). Using the same 3-piece Aramid inserts as the AGC casing, AEC omits the apex at the bead: for the same high level of puncture and cut resistance but without the added weight. A dual-layer compound provides the same reliable grip found on the AGC casing. RSR dual-layer (RSRDL):¬†Kenda developed this compound for a new generation of gravity tyres – an evolution of the existing Race Stick-E Rubber (RSR) compound. Building on the impressive original, the new RSR compound is a dual-layer tread rubber, with the soft RSR compound on top and the stiff SRC on bottom. This new dual-layer compound offers better performance because the stiff bottom SRC layer serves as the hard foundation for the softer RSR layer to push against. The result is a compound that provides better control and lasts longer than previous versions.Buy Kenda Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
