Niner sent through some information about a new tire they’ve offering that might be of interest to some people looking for a more burly 29er tire.

“WTB Kodiak Tire Details:
A 2.5′” monster, this Niner exclusive tire is the burliest rubber you can spec on your 29” bike. Made with WTB’s High Grip DNA™ rubber compound, the tread is specifically designed for fast, gnarly, technical descending. The WTB Inner Peace™ sidewall reinforcement has your back when it comes to pinch flat protection, sidewall stiffness and keeping tire damage to a minimum. Finally, the wire bead means less bead stretch and better rim retention when you do push the limits of your riding.

29×2.5″, 1400 grams, 50 Durometer, 27 TPI.”
