Although it looks similar to its grandfather tyre - the GT216HBN, many improvements have been made to complete the GT516KE including:
1. Knob design - the lateral knob spacing has been adjusted to add stability in high-speed corners and braking during corner entry. The centre knobs have been tweaked in size and shape which gives added traction in straight-line acceleration and braking.
2. Carcass - A new development of carcass allows the weight to be kept at the absolute minimum while maintaining durability and adding stability in high-speed sections of the track.
3. Compound - The new generation of intermediate compound allows this tyre to perform across all enduro terrains by minimising the chance of chunking/tearing on hard packed terrain while also reducing clogging from mud in soft and wet conditions.
The updated design, carcass and compound means this is an outstanding performer on a wide range of enduro terrain, from soft through to hard.
