Kenda Kudos Pro Tire — 120 TPI, Folding Bead

Overview

The Kenda Kudos Pro is a BMX racing tire engineered with a fast-rolling center tread and grip-focused shoulder knobs. The 120 TPI lightweight casing with folding bead minimizes weight while maintaining structural integrity. Available in standard tube-type and SCT (Sidewall Casing Technology) tubeless-ready variants, the Kudos Pro accommodates different setup preferences for competitive BMX racing.

Key Features

• Single tread rubber compound — Optimized formulation balances speed and grip for dry BMX track conditions
• Smooth fast-rolling center — Minimizes rolling resistance on flat track sections for maximum speed
• Micro-knob shoulder design — Small tread blocks on tire shoulders provide cornering grip without adding rolling resistance in the center
• 120 TPI lightweight casing — High thread-per-inch count creates a supple, responsive tire while reducing overall weight; improves acceleration and handling
• Folding bead — Kevlar-reinforced bead folds for compact storage and transport; reduces tire weight compared to wire beads
• SCT sidewall technology (tubeless-ready option) — Additional nylon fabric layer reinforces sidewalls from bead to tread for tubeless conversion; increases sidewall strength to resist slices and abrasions beyond what sealant alone can repair
• Front and rear application — Tread pattern and construction suitable for both wheel positions
• Tread compound options — Available in DP (dry pavement) or HPDT (hard pack dry terrain) for track-specific conditions
