When cross country racers are slogging their way around the rain-soaked course, that's when you know it's time for the "Mud King" 1.8. Its aggressive pattern knifes through even the muddiest conditions. Thanks to Black Chili Compound it offers consistent grip on wet rocks and roots, yet delivers excellent shedding capabilities. Even when the clay is sticking like super glue, it's scant 1.8 profile leaves plenty of clearance and thanks to its reinforced ProTection casing, the threat of a pinch flat is gone. Mud King + rain = fun in the mud.
