from Caledon, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: July 25, 2011 Strengths: Very fast rolling resistance, light weight, good climb traction in the rear, low wear even on paved roads, have only had one pinch flat which was my own fault for running low PSI, light weight and low rolling resistance make climb sprints and gaining speed super easy, not bad on small turns at high speed. Weaknesses: Very poor turning traction, no confidence in turns at all, tire folds over on its sidewall in turns even when inflated properly which is very scary, poor in sand almost scary but its not designed for that terrain, also very sensitive to PSI. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Albion Hills Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: MEC Similar Products Used: many Bike Setup: Norco Nitro hardtail

from Williamsburg, VA Date Reviewed: April 29, 2009 Strengths: Very Light, and Very fast rolling. Low center knobs provide fast rolling and good climbing.I run the python on the rear as it really isn't aggressive enough for front end duties. When on the rear you MUST run it backwards or climbing will induce rear wheel spin. Weaknesses: The tire slides on anything wet. Wet roots, wet pavement, you name it it'll slip on it. The tire is also expensive and wears quickly on pavement. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: New Quarter State Park Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: Bikes Unlimited Similar Products Used: Michelin AM tire, Python first generation, anc CST copperhead. Bike Setup: RockShox SID Race, SRAM X9 rear derailleur, Fox Float R AVA 1998 Heavily upgraded Sunn Xchox Alu.
