Submitted by Krisztian a Cross Country Rider from Hungary

Date Reviewed: June 21, 2011

Strengths:    Looks Good, Nice black color.

Weaknesses:    after 150 km both of them went flat.

Bottom Line:   
After 150 km (only Cross Country, grass terrain) both tires got some wood splinter. Schwalbe Black Jack states : "Puncture protection" - but I say don't trust them. If you have money go for any Kevlar tires.

Date Reviewed: February 3, 2005

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

Weaknesses:    Mud, but the tire wasn't designed for that

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.

Submitted by Rolf Sindoe a Cross Country Rider from Kolding, Denmark

Date Reviewed: December 20, 2004

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.

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.

Date Reviewed: September 23, 2004

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.
