Bottom Line:
I mounted this up on the rear of my bike with a 2.3 eskar in the front. I decided that the nevegals were just too slow for me. The tire rolls fast, brakes effectively, and seems to corner well. Its a solid performing trail / light AM tire. If the tire holds up well it will be a worthwhile investment.
