from Nottingham Date Reviewed: April 12, 2009 Strengths: Its a UST tyre bought at a good price. Single track world rave about them. Weaknesses: It works in the same terain that 80% of other tyres do. You can run it at 20psi but there is no advantage. As mentioned drifts alot and if the trail is partial gravel embedde in the surface forget it you will wash out at every corner. Its rubbish Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Sherwood Pines Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: E bay Similar Products Used: Michelin XCR mud. Grips on the track that this tyre dosn't. Bike Setup: Blur 4X, Revelations 110 140, Hope hoops

from Phoenix, AZ USA Date Reviewed: May 8, 2008 Strengths: Good grip, decent tread life Weaknesses: Tread separated from liner. I had it on my bike for just over one month. Samething happended with my rear tire - Kneda Kinetics UST. Kenda says it is because I used Stan's sealant. They do not endorse any liquid sealant and using sealant voids tire warranty.

from Tobacco City Date Reviewed: April 4, 2008 Strengths: Decent grip but not as good as Nevegal good rolling, durable.. Can be had for cheap. everyone wants the Small Block 8. Very versatile tire... Good but not great in most conditions.There are better tires for every single condition but this one will do well for most everything a MTBr will encounter. Nevegal Blue Groover combo is in fact excellent. Weaknesses: Holy Cow!!! The UST version is heavy. Nevegal same way also.

from Prescott, AZ Date Reviewed: May 5, 2007 Strengths: None that I can think of... maybe that it is not on my bike anymore. Weaknesses: Um, where do I start... rolls slow, no traction whatsoever on loose over hard, doesn't ride all that good (suppleness), downright scary in the corners. Showed signs of significant wear after just the first ride.
