The Baron is a slimmer 2.3 version of their Dirt Baron 2.5, which was at one point the Rubber Queen mud tire. Now, it’s a super tacky all conditions freeride/downhill tire for those that wan something a little quicker rolling than their more aggressive Kaiser. Should be available mid-August.

The 2.5 is called Der Baron and they use the tread pattern from the tire formerly called the Rain King.
