a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: September 3, 2012 Strengths: Has a death grip on the trail; very versatile in terms of different terrain. I ride here in SoCal and terrain can vary greatly, but mostly crushed granite and rocky, and Big Betty's grip on SoCal terrain is tops. Weaknesses: Wears out fast! My tire is practically new (less than 1 yr) and it's all worn out already. Tires can feel like riding in mud when have it at the rear and ran at lower pressures. Expensive for a tire that wears out fast. Maybe heavy in weight to some people. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6-8 months Purchased At: ebay

from Boulder, Colorado, USA Date Reviewed: October 20, 2008 Strengths: This is the Big Betty 2.4, Triple Compound, UST High grip, large volume, size actually meets specification, lighter than they claim (~900g instead of 980g) Weaknesses: Too early to tell. Judging from triple compound Nobby Nics tire may not last all that long. Tire could be cheaper but this is mostly the low $ versus €.

from San Gabriels Date Reviewed: January 24, 2008 Strengths: This review is for the Triple compound Evolution cased 2.4" Big Betty. Large lugs on the center of the tread in hard compound with added traction sipes molded into the knobs. Softer compound on the side knobbys for traction, like when needed to climb out of steep rutted trails. Absolutely stunning traction of loose over hard pack, decomposed granite or loose dolomite as found in Southern California clear up to Downieville. Good traction in stream crossings on polished rocks and while wet trying to climb out of creek beds. Stopping power while maintaining control and traction is phenomenal. It just does so many types of trails, so many riding conditions so good when run as a front tire. Pretty good in the rolling resistance for a tire that weighs 900 grams. Weaknesses: Price... $71 for a bicycle tire. Thumbs down.
