CST BFT II (Big Fat Tyre) – Aggressive Trail Tire

The CST BFT II (Big Fat Tyre) is built to dominate hardpack to damp trails with its hard-wearing, aggressive design. Featuring widely spaced, firm compound center knobs, the BFT rolls fast, grips tough climbs, and offers reliable braking on descents. Its softer compound side knobs provide solid cornering grip, making it ideal for bike parks, trail centers, and fast-rolling adventures.

Key Features

1. Versatile Performance

• Designed for everything from hardpack to damp trails, the BFT is perfect for riders looking for reliability across varying conditions.

2. Aggressive Tread Design

• The widely spaced, low center knobs ensure fast rolling and good traction on tough climbs, while the softer side knobs provide excellent cornering grip and stability.

3. Exceptional Puncture Protection

• Equipped with EPS (Exceptional Puncture Safety) technology, a lightweight, rubberized polyfiber layer prevents sharp objects from penetrating the casing, offering enhanced durability and puncture resistance.

4. Tubeless Ready

• Tubeless Ready technology allows you to run the tire with or without an inner tube. For tubeless setup, simply add CST tubeless sealant. (Note: A tubeless-ready wheel and valve are required.)

5. Competitive Weight

• At 905g for the 29×2.25 size, the BFT strikes a balance between toughness and lightweight performance, making it an ideal tire for long rides or bike-packing trips.

6. Dual Compound

• The dual compound technology provides lower rolling resistance for speed and increased grip in corners, giving you the confidence to ride harder and faster on all trail conditions.

Technology

• EPS (Exceptional Puncture Safety): A lightweight, puncture-resistant layer between the tread and casing helps to protect against sharp objects and trail debris.

• Tubeless Ready: Allows you to set up the tire for tubeless riding with the addition of tubeless sealant and compatible wheels.

• Dual Compound: Uses two compounds for better grip and lower rolling resistance, delivering performance similar to top-end brands at a competitive price.
