Strengths:
Tranformed the grip on my Giant Trance 3. Grip well in UK conditions. Wear well. Good mud clearance/shedding. Look great.
Weaknesses:
None so far
Similar Products Used:
Scott Cougar (10/10), various Tioga & Kenda.
Bike Setup:
'07 Trance 3, 32 TALAS X & Juicy 7's '05 Scott G-Zero '07 Boardman Comp
Bottom Line:
I chose these as the pattern was similar to my Scott Cougar's.Compared to the Kenda Blue Groove/ Nevegal setup the bike came with, these have improved the ride 100%. Was actually scared to ride it over 80% as the Kenda's slipped unpredictably and made the bike a real dangerous ride. With the Schwalbe's i can now pedal like a madman and know that the tyres will grip. UIsed 'em on loose stoney soil, deep mud, wet leaves & slippery roots and they hasven't let me down yet. I find these great tyres for UK conditions and they (along with the TALAS X forks) have released the full potential of the Maestro frame. Schwalbe 10 Kenda 0
