The 60 TPI version of Clement's X'Plor USH 120 TPI Clincher Tire is more than capable of slugging it out with gravel, washboard, fire roads, and poorly maintained tarmac however, the added suppleness of the 120 TPI option makes those all surface adventures feel less like a body bruising title fight. The tire lines up with Clement's airport naming convention by taking its name from the airport code for Ushuaia USH in Argentina, the southernmost city in the world and the gateway to Tierra del Fuego. Clement cites Tierra's adventure bike touring scene as the inspiration for the tire's construction, which features low, broad knobs and a hard, smooth rolling compound on the centerline that's as at home on dirt as it is on slipshod chip seal. The softer shoulders are bedazzled with rows of diamond shaped tread for traction on less hospitable surfaces.
