Heavy and skittish for trail work but in its element in the mud

Skitty on general surfaces, although the Datura shines on the mud

A new tread from Geax, the Datura is as straightforwardly grippy as it looks, but with some nice extra features too.

Mid-height knobs in medium compound rubber are well-spaced for soft ground grip and fast clearing. Big buttresses on alternate side knobs make it aggressive through corners and grooves in the knob tops add bite. Add a sturdy TNT tubeless-ready carcass that'll handle low pressures without squelching and you've got a really predictable mucky conditions performer.

It's 150g heavier than the 630g Geax claim though, which makes it a bit hefty for trail work. The central gap tends to tramline slightly too and, like most tall knob treads, it can skate and wander on kitty litter. Decent value.

Product "28060" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
