$650.00 | | Purchased At: | Ride Bicycles | | Strengths: | Tire is a harder compound so it wears well. Has good traction on dirt, loose rock, and mud. It is a pretty light tire compared to some. | | Weaknesses: | Bigger lugs would help it do even better in deep mud. Side walls are thin and require lots of pressure to keep the tire from rolling (side to side). This helps keep it light. | | Similar Products Used: | Wal-mart brand junk, also tried a kenda from local bike shop. | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn S-30 Full suspension bike. These tires came stock on bike. Still have Original front after 6 years (worn bad) | | Bottom Line: | This is a great all around tire for both traction and wear. Not the best if you do lots of riding in deep mud or if you do street/road riding only! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I am going to get a new Schwinn and plan on switching them to that bike. I believe if you want a good quality tire these are it | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | dealer | | Strengths: | price (bike was 2 years old, never ridden), strong frame, bike is much lighter then it looks, | | Weaknesses: | wha, no detachable derailer hanger?! cheap derailer (broke 3 in the first 2 months) fork <-sucks! | | Bottom Line: | This is by no means a hardcore racing bike. If your just a weekend warrior, whos clumbsy, and has a habit of running into trees, this frame will not fail you. cant say the same about the derailer though. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 2, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Red Bridge | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | Durable, climb well in dry | | Weaknesses: | heavy, don't climb well wet | | Similar Products Used: | IRC Mythos XC, WTB Velociraptor, Panaracer Dart, Michelon (sp) Wild Gripper Comp | | Bottom Line: | These came on my first mountain bike a few years ago. I rode them for 1 summer and have now switched them to my hucking and trials bike. They ride just fine and are totally durable. I ride them off of anything you can find in a city and I've never had a flat. The only flat I've ever had with these tires was when I ran over a nail. They are a little heavy and slow, but they are durable and very good for a beginner or someone not wanting to spend the time and money replacing tires every year. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Whealer Dealer | | Strengths: | Good grip on quick uphills | | Weaknesses: | Weight | | Bike Setup: | cannondale SuperV | | Bottom Line: | I go over 200 lbs. and couldn't get a good grip with the IRC Notos that came with the bike. These tires give me the added bite to maintain momentum on uphills as well as good turning grip. I've lost cornering bite with the IRCs but not with the Moabs. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 12, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Beskid Zywiecki, Poland | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Great grip, durability | | Weaknesses: | weight | | Bike Setup: | Mesa GSX | | Bottom Line: | Sucks! I just changed to Specialized Cevlar 1.7 and hope to get a better performance from them.
The tire gave me a lot of flats (don't really have the experience to tell if it's its fault), is too heavy and too tough on hard surfaces.
Good grip though, especially rear. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 19, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Aspen Loop | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | None | | Weaknesses: | Tire wore thin on sidewalls causing several flats. | | Similar Products Used: | Smoke Dart Maxxis | | Bike Setup: | Scwinn S-Carbon | | Bottom Line: | Came with the bike and were replaced quickly. Would not even sell to someone as a used tire. This tire is dangerous!! Cannot think of any rider that this tire would be good for. It was ashame that I had these on at Moab and ended up spending more time on flat repair than riding. Took the Smoke Dart combo off my Mongoose IBOc and had a great time!! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
