from Oakland, CA Date Reviewed: September 24, 2011 Strengths: Good tread pattern. Harder rubber for longevity on the street if you road ride to trails. Narrow with widely spaced knobs for mud shedding. Weaknesses: My only problem with this tire is it is low profile. I run XT 29er wheels that are not wide and this tire is still too low profile to run at low pressure without rim damage from logs and boulders. I now realize I prefer Large volume casing. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Downieville is cool Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: bought from friend n Bike Setup: Access 29er single speed/Niner 29er single speed. Both used this tire as rear.

from Alabama Date Reviewed: October 19, 2007 Strengths: I'm running the UST version. Great construction, super durable sidewall with the snakeskin. Aired up with no Stan's, bead set very nicely. Totally predictive handling, was an upgrade to the 2.35 Nevegal DTC I took off. Unidirectional tread, clears mud well, nice profile. This has been a super tire for me. Weaknesses: Bit pricey, as all Schwalbes are. UST version is advertised at 840 grams. Would like a "tubeless ready" version with the Evolution casing. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Oak Mountain Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $42.00 Similar Products Used: WTB Exiwolf, Weirwolf, Kenda Nevegal, Small Block 8, Geax Saguaro Bike Setup: 5" full suspension trail bike
