$45.00 | | Purchased At: | BioWheels | | Strengths: | Excellent traction on Pisgah-like terrain. This is the best front tire I've found for the area, it has a smooth feel to it, and corners well. Soft compound helps grip to rock. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | WTB Weirwolf 2.5 (my 2nd choice, doesn't shed mud as well), Tioga Factory DH 2.3 (too hard), Nokian NBX 2.3 (good when it's dry) IRC Mythos 2.1 (too small) | | Bike Setup: | 2003 Jamis Dakar Expert, Marzocchi MX Pro w/Eta (105mm), Sram shifting, Avad Mechanical disc brakes, Time atac pedals. | | Bottom Line: | Worth every penny to keep my front tire glued to the trail. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 26, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Grip, grip, grip. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | Too many | | Bike Setup: | Bullit. | | Bottom Line: | Anyone who does any type of heavy duty trail riding in wet conditions needs this tire. These are my wet conditions tire. Good tire for loose, damp, non-buffed trails as well. I use them on my Bullit with it's lighter wheelset for trail riding and light free ride. I've never seen a tire with so much grip. Climbing is unreal. Wet, off camber trails with slick roots are virtaully a non-issue. This tire has allowed me to absolutely crush less prepared, albeit better riders, in adverse conditions.
The tire is heavier than advertised and is not the fastest roller. However it has that sweet, soft feel to it that you get from an official DH specific tire.
I'd get another set in a second. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
