Bottom Line:
This tyre is heavy, with a high rolling resistance, but put it on a steep muddy DH track and point and shoot, I have the 2.35 and the 2.7's. The amount of grip you get from the 2.7's is scary. You can ride in the mud like it is dry. Not that good for flatter courses due to rolling resistance.
