from Colorado Date Reviewed: January 3, 2011 Strengths: Reminds me of a mini Weirwolf LT: great compromise between traction, volume, durability and weight. This is no "obsolete classic". Does very well tubeless on Stans Flow and Arch rims. Weaknesses: Has excellent traction in ONE direction, not so great in the other direction. Ex) When I run it on the rear, climbing traction is merely acceptable until I run it reversed, at which point it is incredible. But in reverse, the braking and cornering traction is terrible. On the front only good for racing or casual riding. It washes out quickly (although I have always been able to catch it as it happens early). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything without pavement Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: for 29er lower volume XC: Kenda Karma 1.9, Maxxis Ignitor 2.1, WTB Prowler SL 2.1

from San Diego Date Reviewed: May 28, 2008 Strengths: Fast and lightweight Weaknesses: Front does not inspire confidence in loose corners. Rear tire developed a clicking noise in the bead or sidewall....not sure. Who know that tires could do this? Replace tire and sound is gone. Lower air pressure increases sound...hmm. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Noble Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Rampage. Nice, but rolling resistance and weight are killers. I ride mostly hardpack out here in SD Bike Setup: Niner Jet 9 full XTR, C. King etc...all the goodies

from Des Moines Date Reviewed: March 4, 2007 Strengths: This is the starting point for all 29"er tires. It is a must own tire for those in the midwest who ride/race on our clay packed singletrack. In fact, I think it is the favorite tire in Iowa for mountain bikers - be it 26" or 29". I own the folding bead version and consider them my "go to" tire. They work very well on the pavement on the way to the trail as well. Weaknesses: Claimed weight is much lighter than actual weight. My two tires weigh 606 and 666 grams respectively. I'd love to get my hands on a sub 600 gram pair. Wink, wink... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Speedgoat.com Similar Products Used: As for racing and buff singletrack riding - Kenda Small Block 8's, Crows, Karma 1.9's, ACX's, XR 1.8's, XR 2.25's, Exiwolfs, Notos. Bike Setup: Mounted on American Classic wheels on my Sugar 293.
