Now let’s talk tread: The Pinner Pros were designed for optimal performance on hardpack, loose-over-hardpack, or rocky and rooty terrain.

The Pinner Pro ATC and AGCs are available in 27.5” or 29” diameters 2.4” widths only. ATC tires are 120 TPI, while the AGC’s are 60 TPI. The ATCs don’t get the Apex layer around the bead, or the extra grid pattern on the sidewall’s exterior.
The ATC tires offer a lighter overall construction: They still get the KVS reinforcement from sidewall to sidewall, but the layers are lighter in the trail tire versus the gravity model. Externally, the sidewalls of the AGC tires also have a thin gridded layer to resist abrasions. The Pinner Pro AGC also gets a 20mm Apex layer running along the tire bead, which further stiffens the sidewalls and reduces pinch-flatting or burping. Kenda claims their KVS tires offer almost three times the cut resistance and 40% more puncture protection than comparable DH tires. The KVS layer provides additional protection against cuts and punctures, helps stiffen up the sidewalls, and weighs much less than a 2-ply rubber construction. The tire features Kenda’s Vector Shield (KVS) – A lightweight woven aramid material that reinforces the entire casing under the tread and inside the sidewalls. The AGC is the most reinforced, downhill-rated version. Both AGC and ATC models are tubeless ready and use an Aramid woven fabric bead to save weight and allow you to fold the tires for storage/transportation. The ATC trail tires are a “dual tread” design, where the center tread is a firmer rubber and the side knobs are softer.
The AGC’s take the “dual layer” approach, with a base layer and knob supports made from a firmer rubber, and a softer rubber laid over top to maximize traction. in Kenda’s parlance, the ATC is for ‘Trail’, and the AGC is for ‘Gravity’. Both models of the Pinner Pros feature a dual-compound design, but they’re layered differently. The Pinner Pro will be initially available in two different casings – ATC and AGC. Here’s how they did it… Kenda Pinner Pro casing & construction And give you two casing options, because non-Gwins don’t always need a DH-level of protection for trail riding. The goal? Maintain traction on these tricky surfaces while also delivering predictable cornering and braking. Designed with input from Aaron Gwin, it’s made specifically for dry conditions ranging from hardpack flats and rock slabs to roots and rocks. After more than a year of testing and development, the new Kenda Pinner Pro mountain bike tire is here.
