a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: December 15, 2012 Strengths: This tire goes right where you point it on any terrain. It also holds up very well. I have never punctured it or even a flat. I pump it up to 40psi on the road when I commute and it rolls good considering it`s knarly tread. Weaknesses: Sometimes it seems like it has to much grip and takes some fun out of it. It`s to much tire for the back of the bike where we ride we use a tire that rolls a little faster and weighs less on the back. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 4 years Purchased At: LBS

a Racer Date Reviewed: August 29, 2012 Strengths: Ridiculous corning and braking grip, intimidating style, larger circumference than my fast traks, predictable handling, tall knobs, sticky rubber Weaknesses: Heavy tire, loses momentum quickly, needs more energy to gain and maintain speed, at walking speeds you can feel the bumps of the tall knobs Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Price Paid:

from O'Fallon, MO Date Reviewed: March 2, 2012 Strengths: Grip, Grip, and Grip. Also, volume. I've tried many tires this last year and I keep coming back to the Nevegals. Granted, they have a lot of rolling resistance but I don't race and I'm not fast so they are great for me. In addition, those big o'l knobbies look mean and aggressive and makes other riders afraid of me. Really helps because I'm otherwise quite the opposite in personality. Easy to get on and off my wheelset Weaknesses: I guess I kinda mentioned it above -- they are slow rollers. They aren't the cheapest tire out there. I hear they are difficult to mount on tubeless rims, but I run tubes.

from San Diego, CA USA Date Reviewed: September 29, 2010 Strengths: Great traction & cornering in loose or firm conditions. Weaknesses: Doesn't grip as well as other tires on slickrock... Wears quickly... Had the knobs rip off the side of 4 fairly new tires. It has happened twice on the front w/ normal mounting & twice on the back w/ the tire mounted backwards. The knobs always ripped off the same side of tire (relative to the tread pattern, not the bike). While the 26" version is an awesome tire, it seems there's a Mfr defect in the 29er version. Too bad too. It was my favorite tire. I use Stan's and so don't expect support from Kenda... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The one I'm riding!

from memphis, tn Date Reviewed: June 26, 2010 Strengths: Great traction on everything I throw at it. I don't ride a lot in the mud...it's mostly a mix of hard packed trails, loose gravel, roots etc. Weaknesses: I've only had it about a month or so...no weaknesses yet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Stanky Creek Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: Bikes Plus Similar Products Used: Bontrager LT3 tires came stock with my bike and they sucked. They punctured all the time, the side walls wore out very easily, and you quickly learned that they didn't like to corner at all. Bike Setup: Stock Trek 4500.

from Los Angeles, CA USA Date Reviewed: April 9, 2010 Strengths: Massive Grip in loose rocky conditions, especially in the 29er size. More than acceptable weight for the grip it provides. Wears long enough to even satisfy me. Weaknesses: Seems to work better with tubes as compared to going tubeless with Stans fluid, gets a little seepage.
