Best For
Trail Explorer
You're running paved access roads half the time and dirt the other half — and you need a tire that doesn't flinch at either. The Bearclaw XL's rim guard and multi-surface tread keep you moving confidently without sacrificing durability for pure grip.
Perfect Match
Budget Adventure Builder
You're putting together or maintaining a dual-sport or ATV build on a realistic budget and need tires that hold up over time without premium pricing. The Bearclaw XL delivers proven construction and solid longevity — substance over marketing noise.
Great Match
Sport-Focused Rider
If your priority is maximum lean-angle confidence, sticky compounds, and canyon carving on twisty pavement, the Bearclaw XL's knobby multi-terrain design won't deliver what you're after. Step up to a dedicated sport rubber instead.

Frequently Asked
It's a genuine multi-terrain tire — capable on both pavement and off-road surfaces, but optimized for neither exclusively. On the street, expect functional stability and adequate wet-weather grip, though the knobby tread generates more noise and offers less lean-angle confidence than a dedicated street tire. It's a solid commuter for mixed-use riders, not a sport road replacement.
The rim guard is a raised sidewall bead that acts as a buffer between your wheel rim and whatever the trail throws at it — rocks, curbs, hardpack debris. It's a practical feature that reduces the dents and dings that add up fast on technical terrain. Over the life of the tire, it can genuinely save you money on wheel repairs.
The Bearclaw XL uses a harder, longer-range compound that trades peak grip for extended wear — so it outlasts most soft sport compounds in mixed-use riding. Actual mileage varies with terrain mix, rider weight, and riding style, but durability is one of this tire's strongest suits. If you're chasing sticky grip above all else, that's not what this tire is engineered for.
No — and we'll be straight with you on that. The K299A Bearclaw XL is built for multi-terrain versatility, and its compound and tread pattern reflect that. It's not designed for the lean angles, heat cycles, or grip demands of track use or hard sport riding. If that's your use case, come in and let us set you up with a proper sport tire.
The three numbers indicate overall diameter, section width, and rim diameter — all in inches. So a 25x10-12 is 25 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and mounts on a 12-inch rim. The 24x8-12 is narrower and slightly smaller, typically used on front axles or lighter builds. Fitment varies by vehicle, so confirm your application before ordering or just bring your machine by — we'll verify it on the spot.
Wet grip is workable for mixed-use riding but not exceptional. The open knobby pattern moves water out of the contact patch efficiently in straight-line conditions, but lean-angle confidence in the wet is noticeably limited compared to street tires with silica-forward compounds. Ride conservatively in the wet and respect your pace — this tire performs best when the terrain, not the pace, is the variable.
