MERRITT BRIAN FOSTER FT1 NOIR 2.35
PNEU BRIAN FOSTER FT1
Nowadays the trails are not like they used to be, very little pedaling and/or braking and the dirt is usually rock hard, it doesn't make sense to imitate MX tires (which have to accelerate, braking and turning in soft dirt) with big plus buttons and BF rides a mix of everything, so his tire should work well on everything. This led to giving the FT1 a relatively smooth center section, to make the tire fast. Cornering is when an increase in grip (instead of outright speed) is needed, lean the bike into a corner and the micro buttons come into play. The micro buttons provide a perfect balance between the surface, the stability and the space in between when the dirt is still a little soft. The micro-buttons actually stick above the main surface a very small amount, allowing them to sink into that slightly soft dirt and increase the contact surface area, but the amount they are raised doesn't Does not negatively affect stability or grip on hard surfaces. Along the edges of the tread are smooth tread blocks that help protect the sidewall on ramps and streets.
