The Lighter Way – Tire construction optimized for aggressive cross country or trail riding, the Advanced Trail Casing (ATC) is lighter and more supple than either of Kenda’s gravity solutions. I didn’t get a chance for any in-depth rides on the gravity AGC casing model as yet. The L-shaped shoulder lugs had inside reward facing cutouts, while the center lineup features an alternating set of separated mildly ramped dual knobs, one set being slightly wider than the other. The square-faced and tall knobs all work together for excellent braking and traction, clearing out mud and debris, and biting nicely into most conditions. The firm center tread provided secure and stable steering, while the soft shoulders helped connect things up when the tires were tilted over for cornering. The ATC has a finer 120 tpi (threads per inch) flexible casing, and the AGC has a coarser but stouter 60 tpi casing. The ATC casing offered some suppleness over the terrain, which provided a nice feel in the handlebars and useful conformability. The ATC 29er versions weighed in at 985 and 984 grams, which is pretty respectable, while the beefier gravity oriented AGC came in at a heavy 12 grams. It has a distinctly round profile, with the outer knobs barely sticking out over the casing. I’ve been riding the milder ATC trail casing version of the Pinner Pro, and it has been quite durable, even when being tossed into nasty rocks, roots, and deep gravel, and it hasn’t suffered any tears or sidewall punctures. It’s on the skinny side for a 2.4-inch wide tire, so it’s not a floating king, but it more than makes up for its slim volume with quickness, predictability, and toughness.
