FAQ

How does the Aspen 2.25 compare to the 2.4 Wide Trail version?

The 2.25 is lighter and rolls slightly faster, fitting frames with tighter clearances. The 2.4 Wide Trail offers more volume and a wider contact patch for improved traction on rougher terrain. Choose based on your frame clearance and terrain priorities.

Is the Aspen Dual EXO good as a front and rear XC tire?

Yes. The Aspen is widely used front and rear in XC racing for maximum speed. It can also be paired with a more aggressive front tire for technical courses that demand better cornering grip.

What is Dual compound and why does it matter on the Aspen?

Dual compound places harder rubber in the center of the tread for lower rolling resistance and softer rubber on the shoulders for improved cornering grip. It gives you better overall performance than a single-compound tire without having to compromise.

Best For

XC racers and trail riders on 29ers who want a proven, fast-rolling tubeless tire with reliable traction in intermediate conditions at the classic 2.25 width.
