Ryan Schramm Date Reviewed: June 4, 2012 Strengths: Good traction on NH singletrack: roots, clay and lots of rock gardens along with dirt and loam. Weaknesses: heavy, seem to wear quicker than others, not as great on flat rock or wet rock as the venerable Nevegal Bottom Line:

from Northern Utah Date Reviewed: June 22, 2010 Strengths: Uber sticky. All around great traction, and not bad in the weight department too. I have the Prowler XT on the front, and the Prowler SS on the rear. The SS has filler tread right down the center of the tire where the XT does not. This makes the wear factor.... less of a factor. I have had these tires on slickrock around Moab and they hang on better than most. Gloppy clay that can build up does not seem to happen with these. Tacky in the corners and really make singletrack a blast in the downhill with the Rear Prowler SS inflated to 50 lbs, and the front Prowler XT inflated to 30 lbs. So far so good! Weaknesses: Prowler XT mounted on the rear wheel wears fast, better used on the front imo. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Price Point [price m Similar Products Used: Kenda Nevagal Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Superlight, SRAM X9, Mavic rims, Raceface cranks, blah blah blah.

from Poway, CA Date Reviewed: April 30, 2010 Strengths: Very good tread pattern, nicely shaped, relatively light. Would be excellent as a cross-country or light all mountain tire. Great for dirt jumping on soft ground, climbs well enough. Weaknesses: Small knobs, which is bad when you ride on a rock garden with a dust coating all the way down. Has very mellow side knobs for gripping flat turns.
