First impressions were that this tyre offered unbelievable purchase on anything I ran them into so confidence was rapidly building and I quickly carried more speed down technical descents in wet conditions also braked harder and later for turns.

Kenda hellkat pro first ride review. With the Hellkat Pro Kenda has re-entered an extremely hard market to break into but the Hellkat Pro has more than proven itself as a solid contender. The Hellkat really shines in loose conditions. More than I care to admit the Hellkat Pros.

Compared to the Nevegal Pro the Hellkat Pro features a more aggressive tread pattern that is better suited to riding on loose and scrabbly trails. The hellkat measured a smidgen under 260 fully inflated on a dt rim with 30mm internal width. David tests out the Hellkat Pro AEC an enduro tyre from Kenda.

It isnt outstanding anywhere but its solid and predictable everywhere. Kenda Hellkat Helldiver Pro 2017 The ICB part is also an aramid belt but this one sits directly under the tread to minimise pinch flats whilst still keeping things supple and the weight down. Though Id like to see the tread offered in more size and casing options down the road the Hellkat Pro can clearly compete with many classic gravity treads and for a few particular situations it might be one of the best options out there.

The Pinner is a much quicker tire as well so if theres no need to penetrate the soil you should. New rear tyre too so will see how they all feel after a few rides. When would you choose the Pinner over the Hellkat.

The Hellka Prot REDESIGNED Nevegal 2 Pro is probably best new tire combo released in the last 12 months that has gone completely unnoticed and ignored by maxxisschwalbe fanboys. Unlike other gravity-oriented tires I have reviewed I decided to test them without any form of tirerim protective inserts. First impressions were that this tyre offered unbelievable purchase on anything I ran them into so confidence was rapidly building and I quickly carried more speed down technical descents in wet conditions also braked harder and later for turns.

With the Hellkat Kenda has a great all-round gravity tire. That decision saved some grunts and minutes for sure. The Hellkat is the most aggressive tire in Kendas range.

The tread pattern was largely designed by Mick and Tracey Hannah of the Polygon UR Team. Tubeless setup with the Hellkat Pro rubber was a breeze. Like ear to ear grins and completely predictable.

My first ride thoughts on the Hellkat Pros only became reinforced as I took the tires on more rides the trails dried out and lift-served days proved. Way back in the day Kenda had a solid reputation in mountain biking and seemed to dominate. The designed-for-downhill Kenda Hellkat is now available with a more trail-friendly dual-compound ATC casing thats almost 250g lighter.

Fort William is another obvious one for the Pinner Pro particularly that all-important motorway section. Designed with great input by Kenda World Cup Downhill racers Mick and Tracey Hannah the Hellkat tread pattern is very capable and well-rounded in a variety of terrain. The Pinner Pro in AGC feels perfect for those.

Will ride some bigger trails on it and itll feel more at home there but I feel unless it improves with a few miles it might be a racecrazy trails tyre but still dont know what Id replace with. The Hellkat provided consistent grip across all surfaces just as advertised. Team rider Christo on the Kenda HellKat.

Equipped with Advanced Gravity Casing the Hellkat is unimpressed by any sharp object you may encounter on your ride. Dry races at Rhyd-y-Felin or Revolution Bike Park can often have a lot of deep loose dust and a lot of shale and that sketchy soil over rocks stuff. While the its tread pattern is made to penetrate the ground the Pinner is made to be stable confident and planted over hardpack rocks and roots.

Absolutely incredible grip though. With large gaps between the knobs the self-cleaning properties of the tire are good even in sticky mud. More than a few times I let the bike run fast and loose and each sketchball moment was met.

The 20mm apex is a strong rigid rubber which wraps around the bead so that when its set up tubeless air burps are kept at bay and of course this will help considerably towards preventing pinch flats too. The Hellkat AEC is the grippiest tire I know and the weightstrength ratio is great. The hellkat measured a smidgen under 260 fully inflated on a dt rim with 30mm internal width.

The Hellkat is an all-new gravity tire developed with UR Team pro riders. It isnt outstanding anywhere but its solid and predictable everywhere. The 2924 tires weigh roughly 1100g each with Kendas Advanced Enduro Casing AEC.

We tested the Hellkat Pro which offers an aggressive yet fast rolling all conditions tread pattern. An optimized tread design lets you rip across a wide range of conditions never letting you down through sharp turns or aggressive braking. Unlike some tires with a more rounded profile the Hellkat Pros appreciate a heavy hand.

On typical trail rides we found that the Hellkat provided consistent grip across all surfaces just as advertised.
