Date Reviewed: August 18, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Odell Park, Marrysville Singletrack, Claudie Rd. | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Savages | | Strengths: | grip and duribility | | Weaknesses: | i'll let you know when i find one | | Similar Products Used: | nothing compares | | Bottom Line: | GET THIS TIRE! i do freeride and downhill singletrack with and some urban fun and these tires are hands down the best i've owned. these tires chew up anything they come across and i've never had a pinchflat since i got'em. curbs, stairs, dirtjumps, drops, roots, logs, rocks, creekbeds, basically whatever get ya hard...these tires keep it that way. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$17.00 | | Purchased At: | Some guy named Russell | | Strengths: | Tough as hell, you'd think they're bulletproof. Never loses composure and grip at any situation. Excellent huck tire. Cheaper than Nevegals. | | Weaknesses: | Gazzaloddis keep rolling, and rolling, and rolling...
Lacks the "ultimate grip" of soft-compound race specials, pricier than high-grip types like the Minion and the High Roller. Tire sways (esp. rear) at low pressures. | | Similar Products Used: | none. Gazzas are my first set of DH tires. | | Bike Setup: | Chucker 2.0, Marzo DJ II FR-spec, Deore groupset and brakes, WTB Power V, Fuji seatpost, Gizmo riser bar, Da Bomb MINIME stem, Mavic 223 X rims | | Bottom Line: | Uber tough tire that can go anywhere, but grip may be not on par with soft-compound tires, and braking bite is not as good. No need to get the Gazza 3.0, the 2.6 is man enough. However, you will love hucking with this tire. I had not tried it on damp and wet conditions, so I'm not still hailing it as DH/FR rider's got-to-have gear. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | Harpers | | Strengths: | Grips great | | Weaknesses: | Price | | Similar Products Used: | Too many to list. | | Bike Setup: | Yeti ASX with Marzocchi 66RC | | Bottom Line: | Doesn't get flats easy. Grips great i use it on the front only.It really does go off very predictably if you lose the front end.
I have used a 24" on the back & flatted at a place called Windrock way up on the mountain & i rolled it down a few miles without the tire coming off the rim.Thanks Nokian,that was a lifesaver !
I am going to try some lighter tires since i don't DH really anymore. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$50.00 | | Purchased At: | CRC | | Strengths: | Strong tire, won't get off the rim even if completelly flat. Glreat traction, predictable wjen leaned.
Strong as hell, even in those sharp rocky trail surfaces of Ymmitos mountain (where cyclist friends cannot go) | | Weaknesses: | If you've got a normal small lever, you'll find it hard to get this tire on & off the rim. On the other hand this is a safety measure, nobody's fancy a tire derailling under speed. | | Similar Products Used: | NOKIAN NBX 2,5, NOKIAN NBX 2,3 | | Bike Setup: | Mountain Cycle San Andreas, Sherman fork 150mm(devolved-no SPV, thank God i removed it!) Shimano XT (first generation) 4 piston disc brakes, 203 front, 165 rear, XT drivetrain (custom machined bash guard), DMR stem, TIME freeride pedals, WTB saddle, titec telescopic seatpost. | | Bottom Line: | This tire stll amazes me after more than 2 years of use. Still holding strong at ymmitos rocky trails.
Very reliable traction.
When leaning, will eventually brake loose but under a very predictable manner.
Despite the weight and pattern it rolls really fast.
a Great Finnish product (these people are ahead -again - in technology).
Take care to use the right rim size (width), ok? | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

They have worn very little in the 3 months too. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
