Strengths:    light weight

Weaknesses:    Used them with tubes. I don't think that it has stopped a single puncture vine yet. Riding them on rocky trails wore the tread down way too quickly.

Bottom Line:   
Expensive tire that wears out quickly. Not resistant to punctures.

Strengths:    grippy on hardpack

Weaknesses:    Everything else.... Weak sidewall, sketchy on rocks, expensive

Bottom Line:   
I blew the sidewalls off 2 of these tires out last year within in 6 rides. This year, I bought a 29er and they came on it. My first ride, slowly riding uphill on a double track, the sidewall blew again!

I've replaced them with the Maxxis ikon, and I am loving those tires..

Strengths:    Lightweight, low rolling resistant, way better than Ralph for cornering and grip. Setup tubeless easily with Edge carbon wheels.

Weaknesses:    Very thin and delicate. Good for light trails in Michigan. Would not last 2 rides in Colorado.. I have lived both places.

Bottom Line:   
Would only use for Dirt road riding and some light XC course racing.

Date Reviewed: April 11, 2012

Strengths:    Lightweight but note the weaknesses

Weaknesses:    Paper thin sidewalls, soft knobbies, extremely hard to seal tubeless, constantly burps sealant

Bottom Line:   
These tires are dangerous. The paper thin sidewalls are not durable and cause the tire to burp air and sealant in hard cornering and on roots and rocks. I bought them to replace a set of Hutchison Pythons that I had zero problems with but were worn out. The last straw was bunny hopping a log and when I landed, the front tire rolled and lost nearly all air. I went down hard due to the loss of front end stability. Luckily my shop is giving me a credit for these overpriced ($90 a piece????) thin dangerous tires. Buyer beware. BTW - I installed Tubeless Ready Maxxis Ardent and Cross Mark tires and they have been fantastic.
