from Austin, TX Date Reviewed: September 3, 2011 Strengths: I use the 29" version and I run them tubeless on Stan's rims with Stan's sealant. They are one of the few good tires for Central Texas. Most of our trails are a nasty mix of sand, loose babyheads and technical rock sections. We also have lots of fast hard-pack; these tires roll very well the fast parts. Weaknesses: The Slant Six's are a hybrid tire; not too knobby but not too slick. They work where I live but I could see them not being fast enough for hard core racers and not grippy enough for serious downhill folks. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Barton Creek Greenbelt Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: Bicycle Sport Shop Similar Products Used: Bontrager Jones, WTB NanoRaptors, Maxxis Ignitors - all 29 inch.

from Billings, Mt Date Reviewed: May 26, 2011 Strengths: Fast Rolling, worked well on Hard Pack and most dry conditions. Quiet rolling as well, which was nice on the streets on the way to the trails. Weaknesses: You had to hit obstacles straight on, or it would not grip to climb. Several places where I would normally hop up an angled rock, it slid off like when you try to climb a curb from too steep an angle. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Zimmerman & Silver Run Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Maxxis High Roller, WTB Bronson ( <-- EXCELLENT TIRE), Small Block 8 Bike Setup: Titus El Guapo set up for heavy trail. Best setup I've found for my trail areas is a WTB Bronson in front, and a Small Block 8 in the back. Both of them 2.3
