Strengths: Sealed well once on the rim
Weaknesses: Too tight. Difficult to get on rim. Punctures and rips easily with sharp rocks - very thin casing despite being tubeless ready. Not tough enough even for our light trails. Would recommend only to use on smooth dirt with no stones. Not even small ones.
