Duration Product Used:
3 months
Strengths:
Fast rolling, amazing climbing and braking traction, easy to convert w/ stans, super cushy and plush, relatively light
Weaknesses:
Hates mud of any sort, very drifty in corners (more so than other conti's)
Similar Products Used:
vertical, gravity, leader, nevegal, z-max.
Bike Setup:
07 teocali super w/ thomson twins, stans, esi grips, wtb rocket
Bottom Line:
great rear tyre if you want something for putting in miles on hard and or dry terrain, would be great to soften up a hardtail. Don't even think about it if you ride in mud. Not suitable IMO as a front tyre. Overall rating is based on it being sold as a dry conditions tyre.
