from Independence, Missouri, United States of America Date Reviewed: February 21, 2012 Strengths: Light Weight for the being a steel bead tire. Very predictable slide out when turning. Maintains speed in the hardpack. Long life expectancy (mine held up for 2 seasons). Price. Weaknesses: Not worth your time if you are in a constantly muddy environment. On occasion I would want more traction when on slick rock.

I don't think these are tires you can just "forget" are there when tearing through downhill corners. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: blue hills Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $45.00 Similar Products Used: many many tires over 15 years of riding/racing.

from Houston Date Reviewed: June 5, 2008 Strengths: Great all around tire, light weight Weaknesses: No specific strength. When I go out I'm either going on the road (got some Nimbus's for that) or i'm going to the trails (I've only swapped to the Resolutions for that). Fast Tracks don't do nearly as well in sandy downhill turns as the Resolutions, or roll as smooth when I'm riding in the city as the Nimbus.

from Rochester Date Reviewed: December 1, 2007 Strengths: Rolls really well, good grip on rocks, tough tire and can take some hits. Great on hard pack trails and some mid wet conditions, Gets good grip on wet clay. Weaknesses: It could use a little more bit when making fast corners on down hills. I had a little sliding during a XC race this fall( I was going about 20 mph maybe more). You need to play with the air pressure to get it right for the corners, I run 42 in the back and 40 in the front. I race Clydesdale class. I am about 230.
