[i]'Urban Proofed'[/i]

I didn't spot the 'r' in there on first reading.

In the intro to their recent tyre test, MBUK contrasted 'smooth' riders with so-called 'aggressive' riders - whom they considered would need tyres with sharply defined edges.

I basically took it to mean that 'aggressive' is another way of saying 'people who are complete numpties on a bike'

(Commencal ad).

Is the clue not in this.^

I'd assume it's been translated/written by a non native English speaker.

That's not an ad exec, it's a copywriter. And perhaps one that doesn't ride bikes.
