Kenda combines state-of-the-art construction with advanced rubber compound technology to support confident control across a range of riding conditions. The Kenda manufacturer and vendor part number for this tire is 040015517B1.
The KM1 features optimized apex geometry to provide a balanced combination of high-speed stability and quick turn-in response. This construction helps the tire remain composed during faster riding while allowing smooth, predictable transitions through corners. Its sport-touring design is intended to deliver practical handling for everyday road use as well as longer rides, giving riders a well-rounded option when replacing a worn rear tire.
Kenda’s proprietary compound is engineered to reach its target operating temperature quickly, helping the tire provide consistent performance sooner during a ride.
