Overview
What Makes the CST Patrol Tire the Best Choice for 26-Inch Trail Riding?
The CST Patrol delivers capable all-terrain performance at a price that makes it easy to commit to any trail condition without hesitation. Medium-height ramped center knobs keep rolling resistance low on hardpack and fire road connectors, so you're not burning energy between the good stuff. When the trail turns loose, rooted, or off-camber, the aggressive shoulder knob layout bites in and holds a line through corners whether you're riding Moab slickrock or soft Pacific Northwest soil.
The 26 x 2.25 size fits a wide range of trail hardtails and older mountain bikes, offering enough volume for comfortable trail compliance without going overboard on weight. The folding bead construction makes mounting straightforward and saves a few grams of rotating weight over the wire bead version. Budget-conscious trail riders who want a versatile, no-drama tire that handles front or rear duty across mixed terrain will find the Patrol a reliable everyday choice that earns its keep every ride.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know CST
There's more to CST than this one product. Our CST page has the full CST lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the CST page →What terrain is the CST Patrol Tire built for?
The Patrol is an all-terrain tire suited for hardpack, loose dirt, and mixed trail conditions. Ramped center knobs roll fast on flatter sections while aggressive shoulder knobs deliver grip in corners and on off-camber terrain.
Can I run the CST Patrol front and rear?
Yes. The Patrol is a versatile all-around tread that performs well in both positions. Many riders run a matching set front and rear, or pair it with a more aggressive front tire on technical terrain.
What is the difference between the folding and wire bead Patrol?
The folding bead version is lighter, easier to mount, and can be folded flat for storage or travel. The wire bead version is more affordable, making it a solid choice for budget builds or training setups.
