$32.00 | | Purchased At: | W.E. Stedman The Best Bike Shop in RI | | Strengths: | Grip, grip and more grip/spread out nobs/seemed to clean well in the mud/light/rolls fast | | Weaknesses: | Not the best wet tire/two rides two flats. They are the smallest 2.3's that I have seen. Slightly bigger then my 2.0 specialized's/. | | Similar Products Used: | Tioga Factory XC/Specialized Roll-X/Resolution(?).... | | Bike Setup: | 2007 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert stock w/sram 990 cassette | | Bottom Line: | I like tires that have a spread out distribution of nobs. The stock tires had the giant center nob which I just don't like in the rocky/rooty area I ride in. These are pretty cheap and they remind me of the roll-x's that I like except that these roll so much better. Smooth roll, light. Three rides on them so I will report back with more later. They are small for 2.3's so if you reg ride a 2.0 look into getting the 2.3. Thanks to Jimmy for recc. these at Stedman's (the best bike shop in ri).I will give them 4 chillis for now. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 19, 2006 | | Favorite Trail: | The Reactor | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | This tyre is light and rolls ok. | | Weaknesses: | The sidewalls on this tyre are unacceptably weak both in feel/flex whilst riding and in strength as in abrasion resistance. I managed to destroy the rear in about a dozen average 2-3hour rides around various locations in Sydney sandstone. The tread is still ok but the sidewall has completely torn out in various places for 1/3 of the circumfrence.
As a front tyre I didn't believe the hype about this tyre being unpredictable but I too finally got caught out, the front sliding out from beneath me on pavement. | | Similar Products Used: | Maxxis High Roller ust,WTB,Tioga DH, Hutchinson octapuss. | | Bike Setup: | Reign 1 | | Bottom Line: | Do not use these tyres on the rear anywhere near loose or fixed rocks. Do not ride fast on firm pack and try to corner agressively with this tyre up front. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Strengths: | Fast rolling, grips in dry, wet, rooty. | | Weaknesses: | Wears quickly | | Similar Products Used: | Maxxis High Roller, Specialized Adrenaline, Roller Pro. | | Bike Setup: | 05 FSRXC with Marz MX Pro | | Bottom Line: | Very good front tire for a variety of terrain/conditions. Grips well on wet rock or loose gravel. The tire is fast rolling and I've increased my speeds on turns due to the confidence I have in this tire. My only issue with the Bulldog is how quickly it's wearing. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | decathlon | | Strengths: | for the front wheel they perform perfect: good grip, vertical design:good absorption, not high nor low rolling-resistance,no punctures (but for hitting stones at high speed), great in cornering at any speed (high) and in both muddy or hardpack conditions... I will buy another exactly the same after wearing this. | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | panaracer dart, tioga psycho, hut. on the rocks, python, squale, scott, specialized team control, | | Bike Setup: | scott scale 60 | | Bottom Line: | I recommend them to anyone except to purist downhillers. For XC and rallie they perform great; as I said before: "I will buy another exactly the same after wearing this." | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
