I ride with my girlfriend now. We stick mostly to the road. The hum of knobby tires is gone and the roll really nice in comparison to knobbys. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tire for commuting. Pay attention to the directional arrow when installing *by L***E on January 27, 2025* Updating this review in January 2025. Finally replacing a pair of these after 14 years of steady use. Tread is still OK but the rubber is cracking down to the casing in the grooves. Can't complain after so many years, so much use and so much weather. These tires have a directional tread; better to channel water away from the center of the tire. See the attached photo for the sidewall marking. BTW-this is opposite from the advice of the Amazon AI Checked the Kenda website and looks like these are no longer made by the company...but are still available online from other sources. Just bought a replacement pair from "Bike Liquidators" for less than $40 for the pair. Figured I'd do it now while still available....probably no hope they will still be around when this pair wears out :-( Bike still going strong, Bafang kit still going strong, me a little slower, but new tires are great :-) Original Review - June 2024: Put a pair of these on a 1999 Cannondale F1000 with a Bafang mid-drive 750W electric motor kit. I use this bike for commuting and errands. Replaced a pair of Maxxis Holy Rollers and the Kendas are much better for pavement, gravel and smooth dirt; improving both speed and distance. Handling is great and quieter than knobbies too. I use Sunlite puncture resistant tubes, adding weight, but hey, it's got a motor. Extended hard shoulders on these tires also increase weight a little but give a wider profile on soft ground and protect the sidewalls from damage. So far, so good, knock on wood. Installed the tires many years ago and they are still rolling just fine; wear is minimal but starting to show age. Probably need to think about getting another pair sometime and will definitely replace them with another pair just like the current pair. Highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kenda City Slick Mountain Tire K838,Black,26x1.95" Pair - New 2 Pack Kenda 26x1.90/1.95/2.10/2.125 Schrader Valve MTB Bike Inner Tubes - Bulk - Okared 2 Pack Bicycle Rim Strip Rim Tape (26" x 20mm) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/13498784-city-slick-mountain-tire-k838-black-26x1-95-pair](https://www.desertcart.us/products/13498784-city-slick-mountain-tire-k838-black-26x1-95-pair) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
