zodiac-biker Date Reviewed: September 4, 2012 Strengths: I am 6'1" 235lbs sport class rider and downhill racer and use a Yeti 575 for all things upto and xc races also a Yeti dh 9 for downhilling.Fast!!! That said , they are fast with great traction on hardpack and loose over hardpack. I would say they are good in mud but not good on the back when trail turns wet w/ roots and rock. I tried the tire first on the front with a kenda nav 2.35 rear and loved the the speed a traction upfront. Next i put one on the back and front...wow, speed all day. Weaknesses: ok...so being that Im a big guy I can put out alot of tourque, and thats where the tire showed some weaknesses. loose on a climb they started to break loose and i had to ease off the power a bit. Also if the trail gets wet the tire has a tough time hooking up on roots and some rock but never made me have to step off. Bottom Line:

Joe Date Reviewed: May 18, 2012 Strengths: Fast-rolling, not too heavy, nicely grippy, good size. Weaknesses: I am a little concerned about wear. I haven't had the tire long and I've been riding pretty hard, but it feels like a soft compound that might wear quickly. We'll see. Bottom Line:

from Seal Beach, CA, USA Date Reviewed: April 18, 2011 Strengths: Refuses to break loose on super-steep, out-of-the-saddle, pedal-mashing climbs. Corners fairly well. Rolls fairly quickly. Weaknesses: Super-sketchy in loose conditions, especially gravel! Could be a little more affordable, but then again, WTB usually makes pretty high-quality stuff.

from Rocktown USA Date Reviewed: July 16, 2010 Strengths: Good weight to Volume ratio. Hardpack grip. Rolls good. Predictability (i.e. no sudden loss of grip). Weaknesses: WTBs DNA rubber is not nearly as good as other companies sticky compounds. Doesn't stick to rocks and roots like other high end tires do. Furthermore, even slightly wet rocks and roots defeat this tire. Even shallow sand... watch out.
