Strengths: Great dirt road tire. Rolls well 2.1 absorbs shock on a rigid fork well. Haven't had a flat on them yetWeaknesses: Cornering and climbing on loose single track is a bit frustrating.Bottom Line: Good flat dry tire. Loose, slick conditions not so much. Great flat protection. Make sure that your riding conditions match the intended use of the tire.

Strengths: review is for Leader Protection. Low rolling resistance, great corneringWeaknesses: narrow, low volume. Rough ridingBottom Line: These are great rolling tires, but a bit on the narrow side. I am using them with stans (non ust version) and they setup great. The tires corner well but I like to have a bit more volume as these are bit rough riding due to the overall size of the tire. I will probably go with the Continental Flow which has the same tire tread but wider size.

Strengths: Rolls fast, grips well on hard packed trails, not bad as a commuter tire if you want to go off road with it too.Weaknesses: Isn't the size it says it is - 2.0" wide or 2.0" tall like the Hutchinson tires. Not meant for wet trail usage but it does shed mud well.Bottom Line: I've used this tire in races and it doesn't roll as fast as Hutchinson Pythons but I think it grips a bit better than that tire. I would recommend this tire as a back tire on a full suspension bike for dry hardpacked conditions. If you are riding a hardtail get a true 2.0 tire such as a Hutchinson Python.

from Karlsruhe, GermanyDate Reviewed: October 11, 2006
Strengths: Fast tire for on road, and offers enough grip in the mud and dirt.Weaknesses: The tread seperates from the sidewalls after just 4 weeks or riding. The tread also wears out very quickly when used for riding on asphalt. (I checked my tire pressure once a week)Bottom Line: I guess the product is really meant for more off-road use. The tread on the front tire is easily destroyed by riding on rough asphalt. Thought it would be a good tire for off/on road use as the daily commute sees both surfaces for the same period of time.
Duration Product Used: 6 months

Strengths: Reasonable weight, fast, better than expected bite.Weaknesses: Folding version a bit pricey.Bottom Line: This tire performed better than expected on the dry to slightly loose hard pack I ride. Even the people I ride with took notice and said it hooked up much better than it looks like it should. I purchased the wire bead version to see if I liked the tread. I'll be going back for another.
