CST Patrol 29x2.1 MTB Tire Wire Bead Black
Versatile 29er mountain bike tire designed for mixed terrain, trail riding, and recreational MTB use.
The CST Patrol 29x2.1 tire balances rolling efficiency with dependable cornering traction, making it a practical choice for riders splitting time between hardpack trails, gravel paths, neighborhood riding, and light singletrack. Its staggered center tread keeps rolling resistance manageable while the more aggressive side knobs improve confidence during cornering and loose terrain transitions.
Built around a durable wire bead construction and CST’s long-lasting single compound rubber, the Patrol is a solid everyday replacement tire for recreational mountain bikes and hybrid-style off-road builds.
