Thanks to a reinforced ply of woven fabric and an additional layer of puncture protection under the tread area, every tire with EMC casing is not only more durable and provides more control and safety than any other MTB tire – it is also lightweight.
All Kenda EMC tires are tubeless ready and ECE R75 certified and therefore officially approved for fast e-mountainbikes (45 km/h).
What is the main benefit?
Due to the increased weight of e-mountainbikes and the high torques of their engines, tires are put under increased stress outside the norm. The stiffer and more durable EMC casing provides more control, better handling characteristics, and better puncture protection than a standard MTB tire.
EMC is available for Havok, Nevegal X and Honey Badger DH.
