Strengths:    Good traction when new. Light weight

Weaknesses:    Poor durability, much worse than the non EXO ignitors. I have had multiple sidewall and tread tears, something that has almost never happened with any other tires I have used.

Bottom Line:   
Unfortunately these have proven to be even less durable than the standard ignitors. I love the ignitor tread and weight, but after multiple failures that will not seal with stans I have to move on to something with better durability.

Strengths:    Fairly light weight for as aggressive as they are. Hook up well on our bony, greasy trails. They roll fast and seem to clear mud decently also.

Weaknesses:    You have to get the PSI right. But then it has been my experience that 29 inch rubber is more sensitive to PSI than my old 26 sneakers were.

Bottom Line:   
I really like these tires. They feel consistent throughout their motion whether turning, leaning, or braking. And they also seem to be wearing well.

Strengths:    Traction on loose stuff over hard pack is really awesome! I've been running the non EXo version for a while now and noticed some wander when setup tubeless. This tire doesn't wander or squat, a big improvement.

Weaknesses:    Haven't found one yet, good grip on rocks, gravel trails, sand (kitty litter type), etc. Beads up nice tubeless too.

Bottom Line:   
Good rubber at a reasonable price and seems to last 1/2 a season of 3-5 rides per week and the occasional race weekend.
