from Westminster, CO, USA Date Reviewed: July 24, 2007 Strengths: Little rolling resistance, light weight and relaively cheap. Seems to handle virutally the same at high pressure as medium pressure. Good for climbing dry hard pack. Weaknesses: Performs poorly on descents. Can deflect erradically when dealing with rocks and is very unstable in loose gravel terrain - border line dangerous. Wet conditions also yield poor performance all around. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Chimney Gulch to Apex Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Panaracer Fire XC, Hutchinson Pythons, WTB WierWolf, etc...
