Tread Patterns

It all starts here – which tyre best suits the trails and conditions? Nutrak x Vee make this choice simple with an easy-to-understand matrix – from hard-pack to wet/loose conditions it's clear to see where each tyre fits in.

Casings

After choosing the optimum tread pattern for the conditions, its time to choose a casing which best suites you bike or riding style

Most riders will prefer the weight/strength/flexibility balance provided by GXE Core. Designed for racing at the highest level, these tyres are tough enough for international enduro racing, but light enough to pedal back to the top.

1.5-ply 90tpi casing with Apex sidewall inserts, chafer in bead area, and B-Proof Nano under tread. Perfect traction to weight mixture for enduro and all-mountain riding. Fast and agile construction- fit for the weekend warrior up to the Pros in Enduro World Series.

Heavier eMTBs put more demand on tyres, especially on rugged terrain with heavy impacts. OVERIDE Core prioritises strength, letting the motor do the heavy lifting when it comes to pedalling. Also well suited to those who prioritise gravity on conventional MTBs.

Extremely tough full wrap around casing developed specifically for fast e-bikes. Apex inserts in the sidewalls to prevent snakebites, chafer in bead area to protect against chafing Lower tpi casing, giving better puncture, cut, and abrasion resistance.

Choosing the right casing and compound

Rider Types

• Traction seekers — At a race or on your local trails, favour models which use GXE Core or RAD Core. These feature ultra-grippy FULL 40 Compound throughout, offering the most traction available.
• eMTB ripper — OVERIDE Core is tough enough to handle the extra weight, higher mileage, and heavier impacts which come with eMTBing.
• Downhill/Enduro racer — All three casing/compound combos were developed at the highest-level Gravity MTB racing (World Cup Downhill/Enduro World Series), making them all suitable. Consider how smooth your riding style is.
• Smooth and calculated — GXE Core should be tough enough and you’ll benefit from the lower weight when it comes to pedalling.
• Aggressive and direct — Straight lining sections and landing flat? Consider the OVERIDE Core as the toughest with the stiffest sidewall. RAD Core is a close second place with equivalent strength to a non-folding DH tyre.
• Long distance, riders looking for great value — Models which feature the OVERIDE Core. 60a Energetic compound on the centre tread is extremely durable and efficient, while 42a compound on the side tread keeps you on-line in corners.
• Newbie — New to mountain biking? Choose the GXE Core as a starting point. New to eMTB? Choose the OVERIDE Core as a starting point.

Trail Conditions

• All dirt and roots, occasional rocks — GXE Core is tough enough and offers the best performance in these conditions.
• All rocks and roots — GXE Core was developed on trails like this, but consider OVERIDE Core or RAD Core options if you ride aggressively.
