Strengths:
No pinchflats, can run lower air pressure
Weaknesses:
HEAVY!!!!!!!
Bike Setup:
7point, super t, RS pearl 3.1 etc etc
Bottom Line:
WAY to heavy for my taste. I run reg tubes from performance 2.3-2.5 so much lighter. The key is once you find the right air pressure you dont need DH tubes.

Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
REALLY think, hard as nails.
Weaknesses:
Heavy!
Similar Products Used:
Hutchison latex, Specialised DH tubes, other crappy tubes.
Bike Setup:
Just added RaceFace cranks, BB, Bashring, and new SRAM chain and Cassette.
Bottom Line:
Just took it out riding to test my new bashring, and have nailed it really hard off every square edge I can find. They were the kind of hits where I fully expected a burst tube/taco'd rim, but no, they still held up strong, and I was using Spesh DH tubes before! This is a MONSTROUS tube!

Great tubes for the price. I've had no flats since i bought these tires which is unreal and they suit most tire sizes
Get these tubes if you want no more flats. I've been running these in dmr moto 26*2.4 wide and had no problems.

Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
On Yer Bike
Strengths:
* Tough * Durable * High pressure valves (thumbs up) * BIG
Weaknesses:
* The valve on my rear tube split but i replaced with a higher quality one anyway so no love lost there. * HEAVY AS A MOFO * expensive *
Similar Products Used:
The only reason the IRC is here is because it is a tube, rendering it similar. * IRC DH tube (NEVER BUY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!) * Specialized
Bike Setup:
Would take too long to go into....
Bottom Line:
A nice, heavy grunty tube i would recommend for anyone not on a budget, financial, weight or otherwise and who rides downhill like a speed demon. I recommend when you buy these, buy two spare valves just in case, the one on my back wheel serperated for no reason other than maxxis quality control.

Bottom Line:
i'm not a weight weanie(usually), but if you run double wides, and gazza3.0, you start to noticethe extra weight. i could ron 7 pounds of air in front, and 10 in the back, and do a 7 foot drop or slam my rear tore against a curb and nothing would happen, even tho sometimes i feel the tire hit the rim it still doesn't pinch flat, gazza's doublewides and these babies are a pefrect match for ant sick ba$tard like me or you, i give them five flamin' minkeys for their strength
