The XC450 was created to be the most versatile tread pattern in our lineup, designed to cover a wide variety of terrains, from North to South and East to West. The tighter spaced center tread block spacing provides excellent handling on hardpark surfaces while incorporating a wide spaced shoulder blocks that bite in loose terrains. When combined with the XTR370 inspired carcass spec this allows for flexible carcass that provides the flotation needed for loose terrain and excellent bump absorption. An overall winning combination!
