Grip, grip and more grip. Tough. Seems to roll fairly well. Inspires lots of confidence.

Heavy compared to other 27.5+ tires

Super grippy tire. I ran them for a full season front and rear and they are wearing pretty well. No tears or cuts. I'm a bit torn with this tire as I love the grip and how they feel on the trail, but could drop about 1lb of rolling resistance with the same size tire from other manufacturers and experimenting with another set of tires is nearly a $200 experiment.

I was surprised at how good this tire is all around. The only down side is that it is a bit heavy. Some other tires in this market are almost a pound lighter per tire. But, for the price i think its a good deal. Ive tried all different tire pressures, and found that this tire works best (for me) with relatively high pressure. I run it around 18-20 lbs and it seems happy there. Any lower and there is too much deflection in turns and bottoms out on drops and sharp rocks.
