Submitted by perrygeo a Racer from Santa Barbara, CA

Date Reviewed: September 21, 2009

Strengths:    Fast. Low rolling resistance. Very light. Decent grip and sidewall durability for a low tread tire. Very easy to run tubeless.

Weaknesses:    Braking traction is bad. Must learn to "drift" the rear wheel a bit in corners. Steep, loose climbs require more careful weight distribution. Too sketchy to use as front tire.

Bottom Line:   
Run these tubeless on a Stans rim at lower psi and you'll be amazed at how much grip you get. I've raced 15 or so XC and super D courses with Ravens on the rear and they have held up great. Just don't expect tons of grip. They should be viewed as a no-compromises racing tire where speed is the ultimate goal. To that end, they work beautifully as a rear tire.

Raven 2000 FR

Just curious, and a tad lazy. Anyone recall if the Raven FR's had more rear travel than regular Ravens? Or did Cannondale just bolt on a Moto FR and call it a Freeride bike?    Read More »
