Date Reviewed: April 23, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | All of 'em! | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$29.00 | | Purchased At: | Came w/Specialized Rockhopper | | Strengths: | VERY fast on roads, fairly quiet, makes climbing a snap, great coasting. | | Weaknesses: | This tire was made for roads and LIGHT XC, not rooty/rocky trails. | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Rockhopper Disc | | Bottom Line: | The front doesn't absorb rooty trails very well, and the rear will definitely kick out on you due to the lack of grip on rocks and roots. A fairly technical trail will definitely be a challenge with these tires. Expect to lose a bit of control. I plan on going with Maxxis Holy Rollers when these begin to slightly wear out. I need trail grip. That being said, this is an outstanding tire if you're going to be doing more street than trail riding. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 30, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Santos | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Came with the Bike | | Strengths: | Low rolling resistance, good for dry single track and street, tight wire bead | | Weaknesses: | Pain to remove, tight wire bead | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Specialized Rockhopper | | Bottom Line: | This tire is great. I have the LK (low knob) version of this tire and it is absolutelly a charm out on the trail. When I do technical trails the tire hugs the rocks and doesn't slip. Jumps are easily absorbed by this tire as well without the worry of breaking it. I will definetly get the same tire again once this one is worn down. I do approx. 40/60 trail/street and this tire feature the best of both worlds.

Date Reviewed: July 25, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Pretty good in the dry stuff, handles dusty dirt trails pretty well. | | Weaknesses: | Slick on the wet stuff, esp. roots, trees etc. Rear tire likes to kick out. Does not clear mud well at all, which prevents it from hooking up when needed. | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc w/ some mods | | Bottom Line: | An OK tire if all you ride is dry trails, but I wouldn't recommend it for much else, the tires came stock on the bike, and I plan to switch out as soon as possible. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Strengths: | Product shines on the front tire. | | Weaknesses: | Rear tire sucks! I ride in loose terrain and this tire does not suite that at all. | | Similar Products Used: | Everything | | Bike Setup: | super fast | | Bottom Line: | This is a great tire for entry level riders. But riders and espeacially racers will want a more confident tire that requires less negoitoting with the terrain. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$26.00 | | Purchased At: | On yer bike | | Strengths: | Great XC tire - good combo of grip and little rolling resistance. Good puncture protection with kevlar i believe. Purple under layer which is revealled when the tire gets worn down | | Weaknesses: | An absolute pain to remove off the wheel. A very tight fit | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Enduro | | Bike Setup: | 05 Avanti lightning, 05 Specialized Hardrock | | Bottom Line: | Ideal tirefor XC! Horrible to remove but with the puncture protection of kevlar you wont need to. Retains grip after many miles, and is quite a fast tire. A great tire at a great price! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
