from Austin Date Reviewed: October 6, 2011 Strengths: rolls faster that the set I replaces, with better traction and a solid feeling. Weaknesses: I have 26 x 2.35 fr and back. They are UST's but i am using a heavier duty tube instead of sealant. It seems heavier over-all but rides like it's light as a feather Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Greenbelt Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $38.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: High Rollers LUST UST's, regular Nevegal's, Holy Rollers, and a few others. Texas Hill Country is tough on tires Bike Setup: 2007 Santa Cruz Blur X9, crossmax disc, ruined bottom bracket that makes a lot of noise

from Las Cruces, NM USA Date Reviewed: February 11, 2011 Strengths: Using this as my rear tire and it grabs pretty darn good on all the loose stuff in southern NM. The sidewall has been impervious to the sharp rocks so far, and I've run it with Stan's in it with no problem. It rolls pretty fast, faster than the Velociraptor did. Weaknesses: Durability. I've got less than a dozen rides on it, and the center knobs are pretty beat up - but then, I am a 230 pound guy riding over nasty rocks in the desert, so I don't expect tires to last TOO long, just wish this one was lasting a little longer. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dona Anas Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: WTB Velociraptor(pleas please please WTB, make a UST version of this tire!) Bike Setup: Trek 6500

from Tucson, AZ Date Reviewed: October 4, 2010 Strengths: Great tire but only lasted one ride because I used Stan's sealant. Kenda won't stand behind the tire and you can run a not seald tire in the dezert and expect to ride for any period of time. I would have had 6 flats if it wasn't for Stan's in these tires but then two weeks later the tires came part. Weaknesses: Not sealable Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Como Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Geax, Tioga, Specialized Bike Setup: Doesn't really matter.

from North Van Date Reviewed: June 28, 2009 Strengths: Fair weights and very beefy sidewalls (almost as thick as DH casings). Very easy install/inflation on UST rims. Weaknesses: Claimed weight is about 100g south of reality on both the 2.1 and 2.35. DTC just plain sucks except does roll faster than Stick-E.

from Texas Hill Country Date Reviewed: February 25, 2009 Strengths: Never-failing traction on Rock, Rock over dirt, loose dirt, loose dirt over Rock, etc. I never tried this tire for anything but dry Texas trails and it never let me down. I've run this thing over some very ungroomed trails and never worried about traction at all. Majorly strong sidewalls and knobs that don't break off. Weaknesses: She ain't lite! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Flat Rock Ranch Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Angle Fire,NM Similar Products Used: Probably 45-50 different types of tires. Bike Setup: 5 inch AM bike. I run this up front on Mavic CrossMax ST/UST with Stans. I weight about 160-165 and run the pressure at 24psi. As with most tires, they work better with lower pressures, but I've tried 22-32psi. I've never run them with a tube.

from Oklahoma City, OK Date Reviewed: October 19, 2008 Strengths: Excellent sidewall construction, good rubber compound, fair weight Weaknesses: Extremely poor traction, extremely poor tread life, knobby height in center tread is just way too small to track Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Almost Any Trail In New Mexico Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: pricepoint.com Similar Products Used: IRC Trail Bear, IRC Mythos O2, Bontrager Revolt, Panaracer Trailblaster, Continental Explorer, Hutchinson Scorpion. All perform terribly with a huge exception to the Trail Bear which is the BEST tire hands down but is not made in a UST version - thus I keep trying other UST tires that end up sucking... Bike Setup: 2004 Giant NRS AIR on Mavic 819 UST Rims. I use the Trail Bear Tire for local rides Religiously for it has the best performance and tread life of any tire made, but it is not UST and thus is vulnerable to punctures when I go on cross country trips in the mountains in the middle of nowhere when I need to ensure no flats are incurred. Thus, I am searching for an XC/AM UST tire and just cannot find one with traction at a lighter weight!!!
