Tires 29"

❓1. Why choose a 29-inch tire and for what type of riding?

• The 29" offers better crossing, stability and yield, ideal for XC, trail or all-mountain.
  
• For enduro or bike park, some prefer a configuration mullet (29"/27.5"), but the 29" remains excellent for speed and comfort.

❓2. What width and profile of crampons to choose?

• Width 2.10" to 2.30" → fast riding, more XC / dry terrain.
• Width 2.35" to 2.50" → increased grip, ideal trail / all-mountain / enduro.

• Low and tight lugs → compact and dry land, search for yield.
• High and widely spaced lugs → mud, technical terrain, roots, stones.
• Mixed crampons → versatility for varied terrain.

❓3. Which carcass, which rubber and which assembly to favor? (Tubeless vs chamber)

• Light carcass (EXO, S, etc.) → XC, climb, performance.
  
• Reinforced carcass (DD, SuperGravity, etc.) → enduro, rocky terrain, downhill.

• Hard eraser → durability + speed.
  
• Soft gum / double or triple gum → maximum grip in curves.
  

• Tubeless mounting recommended: better grip, fewer punctures, reduced pressure for 29" tires.
