What makes the Dual Venture unique though is its bi-directional/reversible tread pattern.
Many knobby-style tyres start to cut the centre knobs after a time, especially under heavy braking. This uneven wear can reduce performance significantly.
For those riders that want to maximize the longevity of their front rubber, the Dual Venture lets you simply switch the direction of the tyre to continue to get the most tread bite throughout its life. This can really come in handy if you are on an extended trip where quality tyres are hard to source on the road.
