Team Control design in 2Bliss technology at a tremendous value. Front-specific tread design. Longer lasting compound compared to our S-Works racing tires.

Bottom Line:
I'm not totally sold on the tubeless thing anyway. If they didn't come on the bike I would not have them. The technology is still a ways off. That being said, these tires still suck! They will take very little abuse without burping out 15lbs of air. Any good shot from rocks or roots will cause this. I have ridden these tire 4 times in all conditions and they have not failed to disappoint. They are also VERY tough to mount making on the trail repairs nearly impossible by yourself. Bottomline, stay with tubed wheels. If you have to have the latest (greatest?) technology, Hutchinson Pythons are about your best bet.
