Kenda Tire launched the K Series Dagger cross-country and down-country tire model on May 13, 2026. The Dagger succeeds the Booster model and sits between the ultra-fast Rush and traction-focused Karma 2 tires. It features a refined tread with low-profile center knobs for up to 30% lower rolling resistance than competitors, aggressive cornering knobs, optimized knob spacing for mud clearance, and a single-compound tread. The tire is available in 29x2.40 size with 120 tpi XC or 60 tpi Trail casings, with 29x2.60 and 27.5x2.40 sizes planned later in 2026. Kenda's Torpado Team achieved race wins at the Hero Marathon World Cup using the Dagger.
