"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I set the 2. 3 TLR Kraken up in minutes—nice snap on climbs, calm through marbles, and Sideskin adds just enough insurance without feeling dead. It’s my go-to rear for big mixed-terrain days.""Fast where it counts and sure-footed when the trail gets chattery, the Kraken 29x2. 3 TLR brings race-bred efficiency to everyday XC-trail riding. The Skeleton-inspired center keeps rolling resistance low, while taller edge blocks hold a confident line through blown-out turns.

Fewer flats, more flow."
