a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: September 4, 2012 Strengths: They stick to everything I've tried them in (everything except loamy soil which I haven't been in). High speed rock hits to low speed technical and not to squirmy. Great in Moab (the whole enchilada trail has it all ), the Colorado high country above Silverton, and even Marin Co. Ca. I used the 2.4 Protection, tubeless on the front only. Weaknesses: The fragile nature of the Black Chilli compound. I'm tearing off side knobs and exposing the belt underneath. I'm not a big guy (6'1" - 165lbs). This shouldn't be happening. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: just about anything in Moab but at home - Q4 Duration Product Used: 2 months Price Paid: $65.00 Purchased At: Chain Reaction Similar Products Used: The bike came with high rollers which I hated, Specialized Purgatory's, Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Blur TRC. Front travel spacer removed to allow for full 140mm of travel. All mountain wheels with Continental X King (2.4 Protection) rear.

from North Vancouver Date Reviewed: March 30, 2012 Strengths: Works well in saturated loamy soil,tree roots,gravel etc. Rolling resistance is quite low apparently due to the Black Chili compound. Weaknesses: A little harder to get on my Mavic rims than previous Contis I've owned as the inside diameter is slightly less than the previous version in order to be tubeless ready and as a result doesn't require as much liquid latex to seal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Kenda Small Block 8's, Schwalbe Racing Ralph, Schwalbe Nobby Nic, etc. etc. Bike Setup: Rocky Mountain Blizzard and Rocky Mountain Vertex
