Your plans for the day may start with a quick pavement roll, but from there anything is fair game, which means you need your steed to be prepared for all levels of adventure with a versatile tire like the Teravail Rutland 650 Tire. This jack-of-all-trades rubber features large tightly spaced center lugs for exceptional grip, with ramping on the front side to keep rolling resistance at a minimum when you're booking it through a firmer straightaway. Transition lugs are spaced out to help boost mud shed when things get a little sloppy, and feature siping that allows the lugs to conform to terrain for grater traction in slower turns. Beefy side lugs are staggered to elevate your control when you're booking it into turns at high speed, and feature wide spacing ideal for control in the mud, and mudshed. Teravail offers the Rutland in two different casings -- the Durable Bead-to-Bead, and Light-and-Supple, aptly named for their riding characteristics. The Durable Bead-to-Bead casing offers protection from bead to bead, with robust woven nylon composite between the outer rubber and inner casing, within the sidewalls, as well as tread, preventing tears and abrasions in rough terrain. Additionally, a second tightly woven layer of protection is added under the tread to protect from punctures. Conversely, the Light and Supple offers the basics when puncture protection is less critical, with decreased weight, and an extra-supple feel at lower pressures, elevating comfort while you ride.
