from Fernie, BCDate Reviewed: September 14, 2010
Strengths: Construction seems good. No pinch plats while we rode them.Weaknesses: Tires are really sketchy on roots, not overly confidence inspiring in 2.3 version that seems narrow for a 2.3. Rubber compound is on the firm side.Bottom Line: The 2.3 version is an odd tire, robustly built and Dh oriented but is narrower than a 2.25 IRC I had kicking around. Rode the tire back to back with a set of Der Kaisers and it was apparent which rode better pretty quick, I wanted to like the Geax's but both of us that were riding were unimpressed, they felt unstable and provided little confidence in rooty rocky conditions, the rubber compound gave no grip on roots and slid excessively.
They are much cheaper than the conti's and maybe the 2.5's are better, but in this version they don't cut it unfortunately.
Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only
Similar Products Used: Conti Der Kaisers, Trail Kings, Minions, High Rollers, Mobsters, WTB's, IRC's, Intense etc

Strengths: Fast rolling, excellent cornering tractionWeaknesses: Mine is in good condition, but I have seen 2 other riders with sidewall tears. Typical AZ rocks (razor sharp) though.Bottom Line: Very fast tires. I can coast up some hills that should require a few pedals. I use mine as a front and it feels like it holds the line too well sometimes. As a front tire, it doesn't really like to slide. I had to learn how to loft the front tire and place it where I wanted it to go. Overall, in loose dry conditions, this tire rips and is durable enough for the price.

Strengths: Outstanding grip in dry to moderately wet conditions. Rolls very well. Extremely stiff sidewalls, never pinchflat. Well priced too.Weaknesses: Hard to find.Bottom Line: I took a gamble trying out this new brand and now Im off the Nevegals for good. These just plain stick better. And anyone who races Fontana knows you cant have a heavy tire with bad rolling resistance.

from Glenpool, OK, USADate Reviewed: February 5, 2009
Strengths: Excellent grip, low weight, 2ply 2.3! Fast rolling.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: Excellent tire! I have been looking for a set of 2.3s that can hold up. The Neuron hooked up exceptionally well on intermediate dirt littered with rocks and leaves. For being Lighter and more narrow than my Nevegal 2.5s they held their own in traction and feel. Drifts were easily controllable on flat dry corners and inspired confidence.
Very pleased.
