Strengths: price, great grip, light weight, fast, low rolling resistance, easy tubeless setup. I'll be buying a new set next season.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: I had my doubts with the low profile tread but these things rock! It took a while to find just the right air pressure (30# for my 200#) but once I dialed them in, I have no complaints. Great grip while climbing over roots and rocks. High speed descents are very predictable and smooth.

Strengths: HOLY GRIPTION!! Rubber compound, grip, low rolling resistance, grip....easy tubeless setup (regular folding bead version) on Stan's or standard rim with Stan's conversion (I've done both with this tire), raceable weight, grip....did I mention grip!Weaknesses: None yet....could be lighter (but then might not be as durable.......)Bottom Line: Love this tire, love it, love it. I've ridden wire bead and folding bead versions, logged thousands of miles on these. I ride a ton of pavement and trails, these roll FAST on both and LAST on both. The rubber compound is soft, yet lasts....must be the tread design. I weigh 190-200, and this tire inspires total confidence as a front tire, and is a great rear as well. It grips evenly and feels the same at all lean angles (set up tubeless @ 26psi for me). Fantastic on hardpack thru medium/loose dry soils, does well in sandy stuff, good on rocky fire roads. Works well on front with matching rear or an AKA in the rear......try it, you'll like it. Shames the other tires I've ridden, really, Vittoria/Geax/Italia is where it's at!
