Submitted by Patrick a Cross Country Rider from UK

Date Reviewed: September 22, 2006

Strengths:    Predictable steering and doesn't wash-out like so many American brands. Excellent traction in sand, mub and on hardpack. Good traction over roots. I keep climbing trials that have previously defeated me with other tyres on the bike.

Weaknesses:    Wired tyre is a bit heavy but the ride makes up for this

Bottom Line:   
Superb value for money for a do everything tyre that rides well in all UK trail conditions. They have yet to let me down. I don't jump or freeride but as a XC tyre these are great.

Submitted by Mauro a Weekend Warrior from Switzerland

Date Reviewed: September 14, 2004

Strengths:    Traction, cornering, strong sidewalls, patchable, holds air !!!!

Weaknesses:    At the back it seams to wear out quit quickly. Too narrow for a 2.1"

Bottom Line:   
I was worried about the quality of tubeless tires, it seemed to me that just few can hold air for a long time without sealant. These tires were perfect for 3 months until I picked the 1st puncture (too low pressure). I patched from the inside and I put the Eclipse sealant.
The best thing I appreciate of these tires is to ride downhill at just 1.5bar (22psi) with a great held !!!!
Next set would be the Big Jim 2.25".
