| Strengths: | light for a "big" 29" tire. great cornering grip and climbing traction. rolls better than my kenda nevegal. |
| Weaknesses: | rolls slower than the saguaro in the rear that it replaced. seems for like a real 2.2 than the claimed 2.4 width. |
| Similar Products Tried: | nevegal,saguaro,acx's |
| Bike Setup: | ventana el rey w/wtb dual duty rims {28mm} |
| Bottom Line: | so far,seems to be a great tire for the trails around phoenix.grip is great as the tread seems a little softer that the nevegal i was using.to soon to comment on the life span as of yet.it's a little narrower than advertised but seems to be close to the kenda's size.bigger than the acx 2.2 i had though.i'll have to see how it holds up in the rocks here.the saguaro got a slashed sidewall after 6mo's and the acx shows alot of wear in the same time span. nevegal shows wear but looks the best so far.the MK's should do great. |

| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Purchased At: | bike 29 |
| Strengths: | Great all round tyre, works in mud very nearly as well as Panaracer Trailraker[top uk 26" mud tyre]. Rolls well, rails grass corners well, hooks up well and sheds mud ok. Way better than Nevegals which skate up front in greasy conditions |
| Weaknesses: | 2.4 MK = 2.2 Nevegal for width, so beware |
| Similar Products Tried: | Nevegals |
| Bike Setup: | Inbred 29er 2 by 9 gearing, rigid carbon fork |
| Bottom Line: | About the best available 29 mud tyre till somebody actually brings out a specific 29er mud tyre [Conti are rumoured to be doing so] |
