a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: October 17, 2012 Strengths: I run them tubless with WTB Speed Disc rims, I weigh about 165, and I run these at 23-25psi with no worries. They grip great, and corner pretty nicely. They're excellent on hardpack, and even better when the ground gets tacky. I have just over 600 miles on my pair, and I think they'll go for another few hundred. Weaknesses: The wire bead version (that comes stock on the Karate Monkey weighs about 900g per tire. They're not great on roots in the wet. Bottom Line:

DaveS29er Date Reviewed: May 28, 2012 Strengths: I've been riding these for 9 months on a Karate Monkey single-speed, on canal banks and dirt and gravel roads. One of my favorite roads, 14 miles of rolling hills in the Sierra foothills, is gravel, rock of 1-2" diameter, and sand at times. I run about 25-30 lbs in the real nasty stuff, so I don't sink in and plow a rutt. On packed dirt, 40-60 lbs is good. For city streets and bike paths, I use 60-80 lb. Weaknesses: The tires are thin btw the treads, and goathead thorns are a big problem around here, so I use Slime tubes. Bottom Line:

from Jackson, Tn. Date Reviewed: January 17, 2012 Strengths: Rolls great. That part really surprises me. Hooks up well front and rear in our soft sandy/clay soil. No rocks here at all, so can't comment on that. So far I am impressed. 2.3 might be a bit wide for the rear end on my Cannondale Caffeine. It does rub a bit, but only slightly when the bike is under lateral stress. Weaknesses: So far none.

from Scottsdale, AZ Date Reviewed: November 26, 2011 Strengths: Super sticky grip on typical desert terrain, tread pattern grabs well on everything, soft rubber compound adds to grip, lasts surprisingly long for such a soft tire, easily deforms over rocks resulting in smooth ride. Weaknesses: Thin sidewalls easily damaged, require more care over sharp rocks. Larger size than other tires increases overall radius and slightly reduces gearing when mounted on rear wheel as a result, it's quite noticeable on the pedals, but not much of a problem. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: PMP, McDowells Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: From rider moving ou Similar Products Used: WTB Mutano Raptor 2.24 & 2.4, Exiwolf 2.3, Velociratpor, Specialized The Captain, Maxxis Ignitor, Kenda Nevegal, others.
