Piikkisika W396 TT 29 x 2.25 (57-622) (Tube)

The Piikkisika Tube Type tire is a modern winter mountain bike tire that offers groundbreaking performance. The tread pattern is specially developed for mountain biking, and the studs are arranged so that the maximum number of spikes makes contact with the ground at all times. This ensures consistent grip across the entire surface of the tire. The carcass is made from a special rubber compound tailored for winter use, providing excellent puncture protection and maintaining flexibility even in freezing conditions. The winter-optimized tread, together with up to 396 aluminum crown-tipped hard metal studs, delivers outstanding grip on snow and ice. What sets this tire apart is that the stud sockets are molded directly into the tread during the casting process — ensuring a precise fit and that the studs remain firmly in place. The tire’s bead is reinforced with a triple-wrapped steel cable for maximum strength and durability.
