Strengths:
Low rolling resistance with good grip on almost any terrain.

Mud, but the tire wasn't designed for that
Bike Setup:
Deore group, 25 pounds brazilian mountain bike - Caloi elite pro 27v
Bottom Line:
This tire is for everyone who wants a tire that fits the gap between the semislicks and knobby tires. It has low rolling resistance for road use and grip enought for dry cross country riding - hardpack, loose ofer hardpack, rocks, roots, grass,... almost anything. Great tire.

Strengths:
Grib in gravel, roots, rocks and grass is very good. Can be run at just 2 bars pressure, even at pavement and asphalt.
Weaknesses:
The rear wheel has its limits: In wet clay and mud it _will_ eventually pack and slide.

Bike Setup:
Scott RC30 w. Bontrager Racelite UST wheelset.
Bottom Line:
Every tire has its limits and naturally so does this. As long as the trail isn't wet mud, though, this tire will bring you through almost any kind of landscape. I recently climbed in frosty grass with it and my _new_ set of tires performed very well w. lots of grib. A very good allround tire.

Bottom Line:
Avoid the tire it is garbage.
One of the worst I've used in 15 yrs of mt biking... possibly the lamest since the Tioga Pyscho.
Slidey, low volume, gripless, gutless, etc. Light wieght is the only pro... might be good for riding around town, that is it.
Still searching for the mate to the Conti Vert Pro 2.3, which I'm running in the front... which is probably the best tire I've used since riding.
