Date Reviewed: December 8, 2011

Strengths:    Weight, traction, durability, rolling resistance, 2Bliss setup

Weaknesses:    Average longevity

Bottom Line:   
This came as stock on my 2011 Stumpjumper and I've been very pleased with it. So much so that I have replaced it and placed a pair on my SS 29er as well. It strikes a great balance between weight, durability and traction. I've ridden it in wet, mud, rocky, dusty, packed... it does well with all conditions.

Inflation was easy (I throw a bit of Stans goop in there and use a compressor).

Date Reviewed: June 28, 2011

Strengths:    Traction in soft over hard....on level ground.

Weaknesses:    off camber, feels like you are on marbles......SIDEWALL is REALLY soft, to the point that you have to run 35-40 lbs of pressure. Yeah, I know the minimum is 35lbs, but WTF is the point of that if your purpose of TB is traction?? Burps unless fully inflated.

Bottom Line:   
maybe a good race tire, or for a lighter/non aggressive rider. Hard to have confidence when you are worried about it breaking loose.
