Favorite Trail:
Colorado Trail
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Strengths:
Rolls super quick, dual compound, stable at speed, supple b/c of large volume, great cornering tire, awsome from hardpack to damp coinditions, holds its own in wet stuff(but its not made for that
Weaknesses:
side tread (cornering tread) wears quickly, but this is because of the soft rubber on the side of the tire for cornering superiority
Similar Products Used:
soooooo many tires I cant name them all but my other favs are the IRC Serac Xc Lite and the Kenda Karhma DTC
Bike Setup:
Fisher Hardtail
Bottom Line:
A great fast rolling tire that works awsome in hardpack and loose coinditons realllly well (works great in Michigan!!), it hooks up and corners/accelerattes/brakes great. It even does a really good job in wet/moist dirt (like wet topsoil). Not a mud tire (obvioulsy). Works great front or rear (I have two of course). HIGHLY RECOMENED!
