The resulting Renegade will be tearing up the World Cup circuit this year.

Strengths:    Lightweight, minimal rolling resistance, and durable.

Weaknesses:    Minimal rolling resistance means less traction in the corners. Small tread blocks wear down quickly.

Bottom Line:   
I find this to be an excellent race tire. It's very light for a 29er tire, and has surprising traction for the minimal tread. The S-Works version is well under 500 grams, and subsequently too fragile to run on the back, but suitable for the front. I ran this combination since last Spring without a single puncture. And that's with countless laps on the Rim Nordic race course, which has a lot of jagged rocks.

I rate this tire from a racing perspective. Trail riders will want a wider and/or more aggressive tire.
