Favorite Trail:

Duration Product Used:
6 months
Purchased At:
Evans, where I work
Strengths:
Good fast rolling on dirt and street Ideal for Dirt jumping if u want something a little bit smaller (on the rear) This tyre also impressed me due to the lack of pinch flats that I expected to get for such a slim tyre... BUT...
Weaknesses:
I dont know if its only that I run one rear V, but this tyre seems to wear out quite quickly although I dont hardly ever skid
Similar Products Used:
Specialized tires on me BMX they were quite good but also wore out fast whereas my Evil twin HC has lasted for I dont know how long! I Love that tyre!
Bike Setup:
Dmr Rhythm, Z2 bams (75mm) Wingbars, Fishbone stem, Dmr 3 peice cranks and one rear Magura disc-No gears
Bottom Line:
Decent tire.. ought to make them in a bigger size and out of harder rubber for longer wear and tear, but Ideal for trails.
