$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Cactus Bikes | | Strengths: | The tire corners well and rolls fast - the two main things you want your tire to do. | | Weaknesses: | The tread isn't very agressive, but since the knobs are more modest they don't get sheared off in rocky terrain. It's made in Taiwan. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the orange stripe, but that's all personal preference. | | Similar Products Used: | Nokian Gazza Jr. and the stock Specialized tires. | | Bike Setup: | Specialized BigHit with a Nokian Gazza Jr. up front and a Maxxis High Roller out back. | | Bottom Line: | It's a solid tire that hooks up well and lasts long. It's great for riding on rocky or hardpacked trails but I can't speak of it's mud performance since I live in freaking Phoenix. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$15.00 | | Purchased At: | JENSONUSA | | Strengths: | PRICE | | Weaknesses: | SIZE | | Similar Products Used: | SPECIALIZED ROLLER 24x2.5 | | Bike Setup: | SPECIALIZED BIGHIT | | Bottom Line: | I ORDER THE TIRE FOR A BACK UP BEFORE I NEEDED IT, THE SIZE
IS 24x2.7 BUT YOU WILL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO GET 2.7 FROM IT. MORE LIKE A 2.4 | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | Evolution | | Strengths: | holds well in corners, pretty durable, good traction on slick rocks | | Weaknesses: | side knobs are getting worn a little and small peices of rubber are coming off, but i have a 50 durometer tire, so it's softer, quite normal wear for a tire being ridden laps in the park. | | Similar Products Used: | arrow racing prime bite 24" tire, specialized big hit tire(stock) | | Bike Setup: | Specialized big hit dh, boxxer | | Bottom Line: | it's a great tire, i like it a lot more than the arrow racing tire because it holds really well compairably in the berms. it gives me more confidence because the side knobs hold really well on off camber ground. the mud sheds off of it when it's wet, a lot better than the arrow. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
