Strengths:    fast rolling, easy mounting tubeless.

Weaknesses:    No grip what so ever, slippery on roots.

Bottom Line:   
This tyre came on the rear wheel with my Specialized epic comp FSR 29:er (Fast track in front)
It rolls fast but it has poor grip on slippery roots, and it often spins when i go uphill on loose tracks.

Strengths:    Really light and fast, surprisingly good traction

Weaknesses:    Leaked a lot through sidewalls at first. It took me a long time to get all the pinholes sealed.

Bottom Line:   
I got the 1.8" version of this tire and love it. I put it on front and rear for technical cyclocross races and it worked well. Obviously heavier than a cyclocross tire but the added traction and confidence made up for it. It makes road-riding to and from the trails a lot more pleasant, and I like it for regular cross country rides too. Haven't raced cross country on it yet but I bet it'd rule on a smooth fast course.

Strengths:    Grip, toughness,speed and sealled first go.

Weaknesses:    They wear very quickly if ridden on asphalt. Some of us have to ride on asphalt to get to our trails. Try and keep as a race day only tire.

Bottom Line:   
The Renegade 1.95 came as standard on my 2012 Epic Comp Carbon as the rear tire. I was a little dubious at first but now I have nothing but praise for this tire. I ride in very rocky sandy country and this tire handles it with easy. Set up tubeless or 2bliss (specialized) with Stans this tire rocks on the rear. The tire is fast but grips like crazy. I will replace the current tire with another but I will try and keep it just for racing. I've have the current tire on now for 4 months and it has just about had it which isn't very long for the price of them. The 1.95 is about perfect for a XC racer and has a good volume.
