$17.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bike | | Strengths: | Excellent hook up in mud, in shist (loose sandy), and on hardpack. This is becoming my all time favorite tire. | | Weaknesses: | A big on the heavy side but it rolls easy and hooks up well. | | Similar Products Used: | S-Works Roll X Race, Weirwold, Montoraptor, Panarace Fire, Cinder, Dart, Bontrager Race X, Pythons, SpiderAirLight, Wildgripper, Hot S kevlar, etc etc | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Epic S-Works, XTR drive, thompson and specialized throughout, King etc. | | Bottom Line: | This tire rolls fast, hooks up in nearly any condition, and is dirt cheap. The only tire I've used that can come close is the S-works Roll X Race at over twice the price. I'm really particular about my tires and this one doesn't let me down. I also like knowing that others pass it up because its a Performance product. Try it and love it.

$13.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance Bicycle | | Strengths: | Toughness-handling-looks!!-580 grams 1.95 NObody else running them!!!!!!!!!! Nice all black tire with a small yellow 2" X 1" rectangle with black "XC" printed inside. The rectangle is on one side. Very sleeper!! | | Weaknesses: | none yet | | Similar Products Used: | Geax Blade 1.85-2.00-2.25, Hutchinson alligator gold 2.00 Panaracer fire xc pro 2.10, various Specialized | | Bike Setup: | GT Zaskar team Rock Shox Sid Carbon Race | | Bottom Line: | For the Money this tire is a sleeper. I would definitley recommend it! I just rode through some construction mud which had two weeks of rain on it. My geax 1.85 went right through it on my Specialized stumpy pro. I was curious as to how these would handle it on the GT. They went through it, maybe better than the Geax's!! I think these will be a great all around tire to be used all summer and into the wet fall. I running this in the rear paired to a Panaracer fire xc pro 2.10 up front and this combo rocks! If you look at the two tread patterns they really look like a nice moto-cross setup!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
