ADVANCED PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY
PREMIUM BECOMES ADVANCED PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY Kenda’s top of the line product range gets a new name as the brand is redefined and transformed. Tires that were formerly called Premium are now labeled as “Advanced Performance Technology” or short APT. We feel that this new name reflects the products behind in a better way. Here is why.
K
08/2018
enda Tire is committed to leading the brand forward on a new path. Playing the central role in this is the revamping of the process of how our products are developed, from idea to final tire. The first step on the way has been Kenda’s newly founded Research and Development Technology Center, located in Akron, Ohio. Centered around a team of engineers with specialized resources and equipped with a compound lab, endurance machine lab, tire-carving lab and tire air loss testing lab. The primary functions for KATC includes heading up engineering activities of new mountain bike tires while working closely with the R&D center in Taiwan developing new engineering tools and product materials. A test track was recently opened in the facility’s backyard, specifically built to test a tire’s performance characteristics like grip, cornering traction, impact strength and sand or gravel traction. This allows prototypes to be taken out for a first test rides easily and engineers are able to gather an immediate ride feedback. The addition of the new bicycle test track provides us with the ability to test our new products on consistent, repeatable surface conditions. This consistency allows our engineers to ensure that our customers will have products that live up to their expectations, now and in the future.
/KendaEUROPE
After time on the test track (and some additional refinements) we utilize our professional athletes to really put a tire to the test on the toughest tracks all over the world. Their feedback is essential to determine which casing, compound or profile will make it to the market – and which won’t. HARD WORK PAYS OFF Never before has Kenda fielded so many competitive tires that exceed expectations in a myriad of test reports, awards and, of course, race results. Kenda tires have made it to the podiums of cyclocross, cross country, enduro and downhill races – and are here to stay! Various tests and reviews, all of them with strong results, show that Kenda has stepped up their game in competitiveness, innovation and quality.

GLOSSARY »» Casing
The woven fabric under layer that makes up majority of the tire. The casing can be constructed out of several different fabric types, and can be layered up to create the different ply (layers) of a tire. The casing runs from bead to bead under the tread and is comprised of fabric cord and a rubber coating.
»» Cord
Every tire has a fabric under layer, referred to as the casing, that serves as the foundation of the tire and the cord is the individual strands of fabric that form the casing. The cord is coated in rubber and then the remainder of the tire is built around this casing. The quality and thickness of the cord casing is indicated by the TPI (threads per inch) or EPI (ends per inch). The higher the number of threads per inch (TPI) the higher the quality of the tire. In the Kenda line of tires, entry level tires have 22tpi and then rise to 30, 60 and 120 at the premium level.
»» TPI (Treads Per Inch)
A common indicator of the quality of the casing of a tire. Higher TPI tires are lighter weight and provide a more supple ride. Lower TPI tires are durable and provide greater stability.
»» TLR (Tubeless Ready)
Indicates that the tire’s construction allows it to be run with a tube or tubeless, using a tubeless sealant.
»» Tread Rubber
A separate rubber component that is applied to the casing of the tire prior to the vulcanization and molding of the tread pattern. Once the smooth unformed tread rubber is applied, the tire is inserted into a mold where it is vulcanized. Once vulcanized, the rubber becomes a permanent part of the tire.
»» Wire Bead
A thin steel wire that is spun into the appropriate diameter for the tire that serves as the attachment point between the tire and the rim. Wire beads are generally found on entry level tires or Kenda’s premium downhill tires.
»» Folding Bead
An Aramid string wrapped into the appropriate diameter for the tire that serves as the attachment point between the tire and the rim. Folding bead tires are lighter weight than wire bead and are often used on high pressure tires as well as most of Kenda’s premium tires.
»» Tire Mold
A metal mold made of two or more pieces that when pressed together will form the tread pattern of the tire. While applying heat and pressure energy, a bicycle tire is formed by inflating a bladder, which presses the ‘green’ un-vulcanized tire into a negative mold of the tread pattern.
»» Presta
A high pressure “skinny” valve sometimes referred to as a French valve.
»» Schrader
An automotive type valve, sometimes referred to as an American valve.
»» Rim Strip
A thin strip of material that protects the tube from potential punctures caused by the spoke holes and nipples, spokes on the inside of the rim. Rim strips come in different materials and sizes to accommodate a wide range of rims, tires, and applications.
»» E.T.R.T.O. (European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) number
Also called the ISO number, is the numerical measurement that is used to determine the exact rim compatibility of the tire. The E.T.R.T.O. number is broken into two sets, the first value indicates the width of the tire in millimeters, and the second value indicates the diameter of the rim to tire bead interface in millimeters. Using the E.T.R.T.O. number is the recommended method of finding the right size tire for your rim.
»» Traditional Sizing System
08/2018
Tire size is indicated on the sidewall of a tire and is expressed as two numbers separated by a ‘X’. The first number is the outside diameter of the tire and the second number is the width. Different countries have different standards for tire sizes and as such have led to confusion and incompatibility between tires that all share the same outside diameter. For example there are five different tire diameters that all share the traditional size of 26”. To match up traditional sizes one should refer to the E.T.R.T.O. of a tire for exact compatibility. An easy rule to make certain that a compatible replacement tire is chosen is to match up tires that have their traditional size expressed as a fraction with another tire with a fractional size; and tires expressed decimally with other similar decimally expressed tires.

RUBBER COMPOUNDS Pure racing compound R3C is Kenda´s fastest rubber compound and used exclusively for high end racing tires. With significantly lower rolling resistance and increased wet weather traction, the R3C compound is truly the successor to the R2C rubber. Destined for race day, this isn’t your daily commuter compound.
Superior dual road compound Kenda’s road-specific dual compound blends traction and speed. R2C tires contain rubber with two different Shore-A measurements, the center compound is 70sA, for rolling speed, while the shoulders utilize a tacky 60sA compound for increased confidence in corners. Compared to R3C it is lighter but has a slightly higher rolling resistance.
The performance work horse L3R Pro is Kenda’s most versatile compound. L3R Pro is found on anything from road racing to cross country (XC) mountain bike tires. At 60sA, the L3R Pro is a fast and solid performer. The benefits are light-weight, fast rolling and increased tread life.
Maximum tread life and speed Designed as a complement to endurance training tires, the Hard Rubber Compound is a quick rolling, long wearing rubber compound that still provides a comfortable ride without feeling too hard. The HRC is a 70sA compound for maximum tread life and speed.
Kenda’s signature trekking and city compound Standard Rubber Compound combines the best attributes of low rolling resistance, high durability and tread longevity into one universal package that benefits riders from daily commuting to weekend touring.
Made for cyclocross The CX-DTC compound blends two of Kenda’s best performing offroad compounds for a superior performance that is suitable for the most aggressive of cyclocross courses.
Your first choice offroad Dual Tread Compound - The original dual tread rubber compound for Kenda. A firm, long lasting and fast rolling rubber (60sA) comprises the center of the tread area, while a softer-tackier shoulder rubber (50sA) completes this binary compound for the versatility of speed and grip off road.
Grip, grip, grip! The DH-DTC compound blends two of Kenda’s best performing offroad compounds for a superior performance that is suitable for the most aggressive of Enduro courses while still being tough enough to tackle downhill tracks. A 50sA compound down the center and RSR (42sA) compound across the transition and shoulder knobs.
Our stickiest compound for race day
/KendaEUROPE
bicycle.kendatire.com
08/2018
RSR is a compound that takes grip to a whole new level. With a 42sA, the RSR compound is super soft and sticky for a variety of surface types and conditions. The soft compound provides not only superior grip, but also works as a small degree of independent suspension as each tire knob flex and reform on the trail surface - for race days only.
MTB TIRE - RIM COMBINATIONS RECOMMENDED TIRE - RIM COMBINATIONS The rim width has great influence on the shape and the performance of a MTB tire. A narrow rim decrease the weight of a wheel, wider rims provide more stability up to a certain point. Therefore the best combination, that fits you, depends on your preferred riding style. The following figure shows the recommended minimum and maximum inner rim widths for each nominal MTB tire width.
