Price Point






Submitted by MileHighMark a Cross Country Rider from Boulder County, CO
Date Reviewed: May 15, 2009
Favorite Trail:The dirty kind
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $50.00
Strengths:Reasonably light for a UST tire. Seated/sealed with a floor pump.
Weaknesses:Under-sized. Side knobs tear in hardpack/rocky conditions.
Similar Products Used:Hutchinson Barracuda, Schwalbe Albert, Maxxis ADvantage.
Bike Setup:Trek Fuel EX7.
Bottom Line:First off--these tires run narrow. The 2.15" version is more like a 1.9"/2.00", and the 2.35" is pretty narrow, too. Like the Python, they're tall, though.

Mounting these on Cane Creek tubeless wheels (Bonty rim strips) was tougher than mounting Barracudas, but nowhere near as difficult as mounting Pythons. Once mounted, they sealed/seated with a floor pump. I ran them with 2 ounces of tubeless Slime, and didn't have any issues with punctures, etc.

I ran these (2.15, 2.35) as a rear tire, and they were OK. Not great, not horrible, just OK. My trails are mostly hardpack, a fair amount of rocks, and some loose-over-hard. Rolling resistance was better than the Barracuda, but not as fast as a Python. They're probably better suited to softer, loamy-type soil, as the side knobs show signs of tearing.
