The Kommando is a new bi-directional cyclocross tire from Kenda. It is designed to be run in one direction for soft conditions and the other way for hardpack.
The tire, which has a folding bead, also features Kenda’s Iron Cloak puncture resistant material that runs bead to bead under the tread.
The Kommando also features Kenda’s Dual Tread Compound (DTC), which includes a more durable rubber compound on the center tread — for durability — and a softer compound on the sides for better grip.
