The Grappler is designed to tame even the most technical of trails, chunkiest chunder, and slickest sketchy descents, in wet or dry conditions. e*thirteen's proprietary Mopo compound provides ultimate soft, tacky grip across the total tread width.
- Alternating rows of center knobs improve the distribution of load across the contact patch for enhanced grip on slippery slabs and roots, while still digging into loose terrain, and self-cleaning effectively
- Wider center knob rows provide a smoother, more predictanble transition through lean angles, to the hard-biting sidewall knobs, and improve wear life
- Center knob sipes alternate between parallel and perpendicular, balancing stability while transitioning from straight line to cornering, generous braking traction, and bite on climbs and descents
- Center knobs and sidewall knobs are engineered to reduce fold-over under high speed cornering forces
- Sidewall knobs feature angled sipes to soften the corners, and arched cutaways with accordion sipes on the sides, to increase flexibility and control deformation
- Puncture resistant nylon breakers under the tread, dual-ply nylon casings, and tubeless inserts
- Mopo compound features an incredibly soft and tacky (42 shore) outer layer across the entire tread for maximum grip, over a medium hardness base layer for stability and speed
