However, the nearly 50lbs of heft most ebikes pack really make those issues less-than-significant since traction is almost always found when cornering ebikes. If the trails have loose-over hard they’re still pretty good but, not the best and if the soil gets super deep and soft, they lack the longer knobs required for deep penetration. In terms of soil conditions, we’d say the tires worked best in hard pack to soft conditions.
KENDA PINNER ATC FREE
Despite dragging the sidewalls of the tires against the sandpaper-like rock, we remained flat free and never so much as shed a knob or developed any sign of expedited wear. We stayed on the pedals up hills, weaving through centuries-old lava rocks. Durability was also impressive as we put a lot of miles in some very rocky desert terrain. We could feel the sidewall structure working to keep the tire from mushing out and deforming or spinning in the wet, tacky soil.
Climbing on the tires was equally impressive, even in Turbo mode.
On the other hand, they weren’t squirmy or soft either. The sidewall stiffness wasn’t overly brutish like some tires which have a tendency to deflect riders off line. Torque demands on ebike tires are very different than traditional mountain bike tires, so sidewall construction is an important factor when selecting replacement rubber for your eMTB. All of Kenda’s EMC tires also carry the ECE R75 certification up to 45km/h. Kenda’s E-Mountain Casing or EMC is specifically designed to address the demands of modern-day eMTBs and how aggressively they can be ridden. We have been impressed with their new offerings like the Hellkat and Nevegal 2 and were excited to see how the Hellkat tread pattern would perform with their new EMC (E-Mountain Casing). You may have seen our thoughts on the newer Kenda mountain bike tires and applauded their work to restore the brand’s image. With the heavier bike weights, increased torque, and massive increases in mileage, components have had to make some major jumps in very little time. The Pinner shines with excellent cornering predictability and particularly high puncture protection.
Exclusively developed with World Cup athletes, the Pinner was done for World Cup tracks like Leogang and Lenzerheide and designed to hold its own against the toughest competitors. The latest crop of eMTB-specific products keep riders riding farther, faster and longer. The Pinner is Kenda's all-new dry condition gravity tire. As the niche evolves and products get better, it’s quite exciting to see how things progress and get more refined. The ebike offerings continue to improve each year, which makes sense since it’s the fastest, and often-times, the only growing segment for a number of brands.
