Upgraded XR5 and SE5 Team Issue

XR5 is made for confidence across a wide variety of terrain. A dual-blocked center tread with aggressive side knobs delivers confident cornering and braking traction, while the supple and strong Inner Strength casing provides lightweight sidewall protection.

SE5 is built with the same aggressive tread pattern as XR5, including the dual-blocked center tread and aggressive side knobs. The difference comes in the durable and strong Core Strength casing that adds additional tire support as well as sub-tread and sidewall protection, making this tire great for riders tackling gnarlier trails.

Designed for enduro and trail riders who push their rubber to the limit, SE6 boasts Bontrager's most aggressive tread yet. The aggressive two/three center tread with biting side knobs delivers dependable traction and control on all terrain and trail conditions. Same as SE5, it's made with a durable and strong Core Strength casing for additional tire support and sub-tread and sidewall protection.
