a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: September 22, 2012 Strengths: Can be bought cheep £21.59 each 26X2.2 folding. Weaknesses: Very thin side walls one of the tyres lasted two weeks gash on side wall and also crack starting to appear on other area of tyre. Very poor grip in all conditions especially the wet. Terrible on roots and rocks. Poor traction when climbing. Can feel bike sliding when cornering a speed. These tyres do not inspire confidence. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Kirroughtree Black Duration Product Used: 4 weeks Bike Setup: Specialized Stumpjumper Expert Evo 2011 with 150mm Travel front and rear. Changed the specialized command post for a Rockshox reverb seat post(if you have not tried one you really have to best thing ever!) also changed the specialized bars and stem for Renthal fatbar handlebars and Easton Havoc 50mm stem.

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: August 31, 2012 Strengths: This tyre is a great all-round one. I have tried this on dry, wet and muddy trails...from cwmcarn, Fforest Fawr to Afan (All three trails... Ywal, Whites level and the most recent Skyline (30 miles) and did not have one problem. Not one puncture, even with the difficult fist size and pointed edges of rocks on the skyline trail. I have checked for any nobbles which may have been ripped off, but not one had yet. Sidewalls are very strong. This tyre is even great while riding through a shallow river full of rocks. I was also greatly impressed by how easy it was to go through mud. I used to have continental barons which were dreadful going through mud. Rolling resistance is pretty good too :) Weaknesses: Not the black chilli compound?

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: May 10, 2012 Strengths: I have the current version of this tire, the trail king 2.2. Same exact tread just a different name. I am running this tire only on the rear. It is the Black chili version and man does this tire grip! In the dry seasons here in South Florida the trails gets very loose and sandy. Majority of the few climbs that I do are very difficult due to the looseness. With these tires I have no issues keeping grip and showing the trail who is the boss! The 2.2 is a pretty beefy tire and makes the ride feel a little more plush. I see that as a good thing. Rolling resistance seems pretty good. They are not race tires but are not to bulky. Weaknesses: Picks up anything and everything on the trail. If it is a wet ride my back gets pretty covered with debris. No biggie why go mountain biking if you don't want to get dirty ;-) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Markham Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Amazon Bike Setup: 09 Trek Fuel EX9

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: April 26, 2012 Strengths: Volume allowed me to use low pressure increasing performance without ever getting a pinch flat. The walls so far have withstood three months of riding over rocky terrain without getting ripped. Light weight. Weaknesses: Not the best grip with constant little slides whenever the terrain is slightest wet (might suit some who like that sort of behavior from a tire) in spite of the Black Chili rubber. Do not last at all, in three months has lost a lot of rubber already. Too expensive for a not very good tire. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Similar Products Used: Many, tires under my belt... Bike Setup: Titus El Guapo
