Bottom Line:
690g per tire is pretty heavy but at 1.85 and pretty smooth they are great for around town.. Also they have knobs on the outside edge so traction control on like cornering and when sinking in gravel, dirt, beach, whatever the knobs grab and you get traction on a otherwise smooth tire. I use them for 90% road, 10% offroad application.

Strengths:
Reasonably lightweight for a highly puncture resistant semi-slick.
Weaknesses:
Haven't seen any
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I've put over 4000 commuter miles on these tires, and I have had very few flats and I see quite a bit of road debris. They still have a lot of life left in them too. I like the high pressure capacity - I run them at 80psi and they do fine (I weigh 210#). these tires are adequately quiet and very stable at high speeds.
Highly recommended!
