Overview
The Trail Pro Radial Soft is the most generalist of the four new Tacky Chan variants. It combines the lighter 29x2.50 Trail Pro casing with the more balanced Soft compound, so it keeps the radial tire's extra contact patch and damping while being easier to justify on everyday trail and enduro bikes. For riders who want one Tacky Chan spec that feels serious but not overly specialized, this is the cleanest entry point.
