Strengths: The name Bontrager sounds synonymous with mountain bike to me. It sounds rugged and ready for any job it was designed for and I feel that is exactly what I received when I purchased these tires.Weaknesses: None that I have experienced.Bottom Line: Some may complain that these are not an "all season" tire but Innever felt that they were stated as such. The intended terrain is exactly what I use them on and theyre great tires. In all, I'm happy with my purchase and will buy Bontrager again!

Strengths: Fast on dry hardpack. So far more durable than some of the other race tire from Bonty like the XR-1s.Tubeless setup was very easy.Weaknesses: They are very poor in sloppy conditions.Bottom Line: If you are looking for a low resistance fast XC tire at a good price point versus say IKONs then these are you tire.
I wouldn't ride them on technical or rocky terrain, but for the fast flowly hardpack they really are a great tire.

Strengths: Probably good for dry slick rock or terrain that doesn't require much tractionWeaknesses: Absolutely suck in muddy terrain. The do not shed mud because the knobs are so short they never pickup mud!Bottom Line: Trek seems to go for a one size fits all mentality for their stock bike tires. My new superfly came with these things and I'm planning to swap them out soon. I've never had as many problems with traction as these things have. Give me some knob!

Strengths: Light, fast, easily convertible to tubeless with Stan's or latex mold builder with water.Weaknesses: Traction on technical terrain.Bottom Line: Great tire for fire roads and fast trails. Not as good on dry, dusty single track with tech sections - experienced too much sliding when I really needed traction. Converted to tubeless today and will see if that helps, along with dropping the tire pressure some more.
Favorite Trail: Backbone
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
