from The West Coast Date Reviewed: June 26, 2011 Strengths: Grips for days and fast, I was spinning at 20mph on the pavement, 26 x 1.9. Sort of in between a NanoRaptor and a full on knobby, but terrific grip in the back end on dry and sandy. (Don't have one on the front.) Weaknesses: Discountinued I think, replace by a slightly new tread design and/or width. Too bad. NOS on eBay is the way to go. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tomorrow's Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $25.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Nanoraptors, Specialized FastTrack, Small Block. Bike Setup: Hardtail SL.

from Meridian,Ms. Date Reviewed: September 29, 2006 Strengths: Good all around tire. Works pretty well in any situation I've put it in. Weaknesses: Not doggin these tires they just don't seem to have the braking power you would expect from such a gnarly tread and I believe that's because the knobs are so tall and soft that they just roll instead of dig. Another thing is they IMO don't handle lower pressures that well, at thirty pounds in the rear they feel like mush and I only weigh 160. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Rbikes.com Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: GF Tass HT Fully equipped with XTR components

from JAX, FL Date Reviewed: April 28, 2006 Strengths: Rolling resistance pretty decent, carving ability, versatility Weaknesses: Mud, deep sand and really gnarly trails where really only a big bulldozer tire combo like my 2.3 BG/Nevegal will do. Not as fast a Python (but not much else is either). I have the Pros, not WCS - so weight could be better. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: blanket creek Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: lbs Similar Products Used: Pythons, Mutanoraptors, Speedmax, Fire XC Pro, Jones AC, Blue Groove, Nevegal, Mythos XC Bike Setup: IF deluxe/Fox 100RLT/Hope mono mini/King-DT Swiss wheelset

from Castro Valley, CA Date Reviewed: January 4, 2006 Strengths: Good, predictable traction in many different conditions, 2.1" is a comfortably fat tire for reasonable weight. Forgiving breakaway characteristics. Weaknesses: Makes you realize specific strengths and weaknesses in some other tires when you do ride something different! Need a bit of pressure in them or they feel squishy when running at a low psi. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Can you only have one? Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Cyclepath Hayward Similar Products Used: You name it: Specialized, Kenda (Kinetics, Nevegals), WTB Weirwolfs, Mutanoraptors, etc...
