Date Reviewed: December 30, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | River Valley Cycle | | Strengths: | pretty lite and strong... | | Weaknesses: | doesn't shed mud very well, treads have worn down fast....a 5 inch long crack has appeared between the centre set of treads and the outers. about halc a centimeter deep.... where did that come from? and how long will my new tire last with that big crack.... wish it was double ply instead of single | | Similar Products Used: | I used kenda kinetics for jumping and trails too.... and they have lasted a whole lot longer | | Bike Setup: | Rocky Mountain Flow 3.0 '05 | | Bottom Line: | Maybe it was freak that they cracked so fast..... I don't want to dish out another 70 bucks with the chance that my new one might crack after 4 months too. I think I will go for either double ply or something new. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 20, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | ummm, got a few sets for free? | | Weaknesses: | sidewalls are WeAk! heavy, too darn hard durometer
minion single ply, 6o duro | | Similar Products Used: | kenda, spec, schwalbe, tioga, wtb, bont. | | Bike Setup: | maverick with maverick
| | Bottom Line: | somehow i ended up with a couple pairs of these good for nothing tires. i dont think i am over critical but these tires have continuously failed me. i have ripped holes in 5 sidewalls so far. i cant figure out where the weight is in these poor things. in no way can i recommend these tires. the full on dh versions are ok though if weight isnt a concern. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 27, 2004 | | Favoriate Trail: | secret creek | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$20.00 | | Purchased At: | BeyondBikes.com | | Strengths: | [b]Review is for 2.35 Single Ply version.[/i]
Traction, volume, low weight, decent rolling speed, very predictable cornering | | Weaknesses: | not always on sale for $20 apiece | | Similar Products Used: | Tioga DH Pro 2.1 & 2.3; Kenda Kinetics Stick-E 2.35; Nokian Gazzaloddi DH 2.3; various WTB treads; Maxxis Mofo DH 2.35; Maxxis Minion DH Pro 2.7 Front | | Bike Setup: | Curtlo steel HT designed for 2003 Marz Z1FR QR20; various other bits; Rhyno Lite rims laced to hubs, etc. | | Bottom Line: | The finest sub-1000gms tire I've ever used. While it's only a single ply sidewall, it's as thick as some companies' DH tire sidewalls ([i]i.e.,[/i] Tioga DH Pro). Nice cushioned ride without the weight of full DH casings. Excellent traction in all soils I've ridden in the Northern Rockies, very predictable cornering, outstanding control. I was lucky to find them at $20 apiece but would pay full MSRP if necessary for these great treads. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 30, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Dual ply wall, almost rideable without any air! Great tread pattern, front and rear specific designs. Very little rolling resistance. Sheds mud well. | | Weaknesses: | Price, $80 CDN each. The dual ply is heavy, 1135 grams each. There is a single ply version for those who want less weight. This is a downhill/freeride tire, solid reliable performance without the fear of pinch flats and sidewall flex. Accelerates quickly. | | Bike Setup: | Rocky Mountain Slayer 30, Maxxis Minion 2.35 | | Bottom Line: | If you don't mind the extra weight nothing is more durable or reliable with great performance. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
