Strengths: lLittle ResistanceWeaknesses: CorneringBottom Line: This tire roles well, I was a little let down when it came to cornering on loose over hardpack. I had to let a ton of air out to get the cornering I wanted. This tire came on my bike and I might even switch before they are worn out....something I never do...

Strengths: Fast rolling.Weaknesses: Cornering, braking, sidewall weakness.Bottom Line: Tried this tire as a slightly more aggressive alternative to the SB8. They roll a little slower, and I find them less inspiring while riding aggressively, much to my surprise. Already showing signs of wear after 3 rides.

Strengths: Corner Grip (what it is intended for no)Weaknesses: WeightBottom Line: I refuse to add mus shedding as a weakness because this is not the tire for that. To be honest, this is a SUPER all around tire. I have been riding it up front for a couple of weeks, and I love it.

Strengths: Consistent solid traction on the climbs. Great middle ground between the Nevegal and the small block 8.Weaknesses: Doesn't shed mud like the NevegalBottom Line: Love this tire. Enables me to increase my speed on the downhills with more control and keep the same level of traction on the climbs as the small block 8.

Strengths: Grab like crazy, climbed an 8% grade that was all loose sand, no problem. Grips in corners better than my Maxxis Ignitors.
I am riding fully rigid and the 29 x 2.2 just float over everything.Weaknesses: Not the lightest and a bit slow on pavementBottom Line: Great all around tire for the money

Strengths: This review is for the 26X2.1 DTC tires. These tires are awesome! Great traction and decent cornering. Good all around tire. Can handle light mud. Round profile.Weaknesses: I slid out once while cornering pretty fast. Might've been my fault though. Not great in mud, tends to lose traction. After 14 miles and a dozen or so jumps, I found my front tube had a slow leak. I hit plenty of small stumps and sticks between jumps. The jumps were not hard landing though.Bottom Line: These tires are great for the money. I paid $60 for the pair. I was looking at these or Maxxis Ikons which also have good reviews. I settled on these tires for the price. Much less than the price of the Ikons and just as many good reviews. The tread pattern doesn't look too aggressive but the tire is by no means a pavement tire. SOOOOO much better than my previous tires (some Specialized Crossroads - great on pavement and short grass). I give these tires 5 chilis for the value cause they rock. 4 Overall rating since they tend to lose traction in mud. Haven't tried these tires tubeless, but once I can afford a Stans kit I'll give it a shot.

Strengths: This is for the 29x2.2 Great Grip, large volume, transitions in corners wellWeaknesses: Rolls a little slower than I would like. Not tubeless ready.Bottom Line: I like these tires for everything but soft sand. They grip really well, almost as well as the Nevegal so I run them front and back for XC and swap the front for a Nevegal for more all mountain trails. I did like the Hutch Python on the back better for climbing and RR but the slant six has more volume and corners better. I was surprised how well these griped in the corners at speed with the front at 23 psi and the rear at 30. I weigh 170 lbs. My only complaint is they are not tubeless.
