Road-to-Trail & Gravel
Road-to-trail hybrids handle pavement-to-dirt transitions smoothly, with moderate lug patterns (2-3.5mm) that grip trails without feeling clunky on roads. A growing category as "gravel running" emerges for fire roads and hard-packed dirt. Ideal for runners whose routes mix surfaces or who are transitioning from road to trail running.
