$60.00 | | Purchased At: | hibike | | Strengths: | light, fast, direct response | | Weaknesses: | air tight only with gluey. Expensive. | | Similar Products Used: | tubeless: Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2,25, Schwalbe Big Betty, Michelin XCR Mud | | Bike Setup: | Marin CroMoly Hradtail, Tank Alu Hardtail | | Bottom Line: | As with both Schwalbe tubeless, longer term tight only with Stan like fluid. Michelin XCR was always super tight without. No big problem, though.
This is a slim (definitly 2.0 or a bit less), fast and smooth rolling tire. Good grip on hard pack and in deep mud. Very direct response to change of direction. I like it, even if I prefer big volume tires else.
Can't tell anything about loose gravel (might be a slim tire's weakness) or flats yet. I am not a big tire puncher. The Racing Ralph seemed a bit on the weak side, though (two flats within first 14 days of use). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
