Strengths:
Rolls fast, corners quite well. Performs well in wet/loose conditions especially considering the lack of tread in the center.
Weaknesses:
None.
Similar Products Used:
Panaracer smoke/dart. Lots of different specialized tires. farmer johns. others
Bike Setup:
'03 specialized stumpy fs disc. look 4x4. easton carbon seatpost and bars. thomson stem. marz bomber mx comp. onza grips. sram goldlink. arrow racing blitz on rear (26x2.25) wtb mutano raptor (26x2.24) on front.
Bottom Line:
I'm considering putting one of these on the front too. I like the low rolling resistance and am surprised with the cornering. I def recommend one for the rear. If you're a weight weenie you might not like it as its probably not the lightest out there being a 2.25. I recommend it for anyone from XC riders to DHer's.
