The Dissent is the doctrine for FR/DH tires. Designed around the demanding conditions of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, this tire features a hard driving twin-knob design, a robust casing and a muscular square-radius profile. The Dissent offers confident control on dusty, braking bump-riddled downhill tracks and rolls surprisingly well for its size.
