Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Bicycle Village, Boulder
Strengths:
Great for damp conditions.
Weaknesses:
Not as grippy as you'd think for a tire this knobby
Similar Products Used:
Bontrager Jones ACX, Kenda Klaw XT, Exiwolves, Nanoraptors, Conti Vertical Pro
Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I've only ridden this tire on the front, and I expected the side knobs to allow me to rip around the sandy corners much better than the Exiwolves. On the contrary, these tires seemed to slip out even more in the loose corners. However, if the terrain was moist/damp these tires stuck like glue without picking up a lot of mud.
