GBC Motorsports will expand the Mongrel line in early 2014 to include 27×9.00R12 and 27×11.00R12 sizes.

“We are very excited to be able to use a platform like the SEMA Show to launch the Kanati Trail Hog,” said Randy Tsai, director of GBC motorsports. “It’s an incredible opportunity to show the industry that we will continue to innovate and develop exciting new products.”
