Description:If you are looking for a tire that combines syped AND control in any XC conditions, then the ExiWolf series is for you. A ramped center tread and square-edged outer knobs combine to create a tire that is low rolling, yet grips the dirt in the corners. The open tread design and spiky knobs excel in loose conditions and provide the confidence to ride where other riders walk.
- Casing: 52mm
- Footprint: 56mm

Date Reviewed: November 30, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Whakarewarewa Forest, Rotorua | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | Came with bike | | Strengths: | Dry conditions (prob the harder non-race compound): dusty, light gravel, pine needles and grass. Good grip for climbing.
Light and roll ok. | | Weaknesses: | Wet conditions - roots, smooth rocks, clay and (not surprisingly) mud. Notably the front tyre will slip out quickly. Small side blocks tend to flex on hardpack corners. | | Similar Products Used: | Kenda Nevegal, Maxxis High Roller, Hutchinson Spider, Specialized Rhythm. | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Mongoose Amasa Comp - some stronger parts fitted eg Alex Supra BH wheels. | | Bottom Line: | Please excuse my omission to say "only good for dry conditions are these tyres" for weaknesses in my review of my 2005 Amasa.
These small block tyres were perfect for an enduro (fun?) which had pretty much all of the dry trail features mentioned in product strengths above. Even the serious guys held me up a few times when it came to going back down.
For wet tree roots and clay - be careful!
I would use these when conditions suit, otherwise as a rear tyre only.

$17.00 | | Purchased At: | Prodeal! | | Strengths: | Excellent cornering traction, excellent climbing climbing traction. Good strength to weight ratio. Rolls well. Seems to work well in most all conditions. | | Weaknesses: | Only weakness is if you purchase the non-race version. Traction is reduced on standard tire. I will say that a 2.1 race handles better than a 2.3 non-race. | | Similar Products Used: | Kenda Blue Grooves 2.35,2.1 - Pieces of poo

WTB Weirwolf | | Bike Setup: | Kona Kikapu, Manitou Nixon Platinum Intrinsic, XT Dual Control Hyd. | | Bottom Line: | Outstanding tires. They dig deep into corners. One look at the race version and you can tell why! The standard version is just too smooth. This is outstanding tire. I used it in a dry/loose/gravel/sand situation and it was above and beyond. Is supposed to work even better in moist/loose conditions. I can't wait. Purchase this with confidence! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 23, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | sta. rosa | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | ExiWolf tires’s deep tread offers consistent grip and lively handling. They climb like mad and allow for stable cornering, descending and late braking. | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Bottom Line: | These tires are worth every penny. They love to be leaned hard into turns and just refuse to wash out on anything but the loosest dirt. They seem to be impervious to the pinch flat demon and haven't lost a single knob.
YOU WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL OF YOUR RIDE at all times if you know HOW to brake effectively. Exiwolf brake exceptionally well and allow you to maneuver through gnarly terrain with ease.

$34.00 | | Purchased At: | Mike's Bikes San Rafael | | Strengths: | Excellent cornering; relatively low rolling resistance; good traction when running tread in reverse direction on rear. Excellent in loose conditions, and good enough in the mud that you can run one tire year round. | | Weaknesses: | The only thing that I've noticed is that by running the rear in the reverse direction for more traction, tread life is significantly shortened. | | Similar Products Used: | IRC Serac XC, Bontrager Jones, | | Bottom Line: | Excellent tire for all around trail riding. If you are looking for more confidence in cornering, by this tire. Superb cornering stability and traction. If you are looking for a downhill tire, this isn't it. It is probably too light...wtb has plenty of others better suited to that purpose. I use it year round in dusty dry conditions and slimy mud. It definitely is better suited for the dry and loose conditions, but does surprisingly well in the slop. Looking forward to trying the new 26 x 2.3 size this year. Keep it up wtb. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Not for muddy days. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson? | | Strengths: | Very tacky tire that rolls very well. Wide tire that floats and pulls you through the soft stuff. | | Weaknesses: | This may be ticky-tacky, but after 1100 miles of riding the side knobs on the soft part of the dual compound rubber have almost all worn or ripped off before the middle tread has worn. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Enduro 2.2, Specialized Adrenaline 2.1, WTB Weirwolf, Specialized FastTrax, IRC Mythos 2.1 | | Bike Setup: | Mongoose Teocali Super, stock. | | Bottom Line: | The soft tread lasted about 1 year and 1100 miles of riding, so I bought another pair. They are super tacky on Rocky Mountain granite, float through the soft stuff, roll great, and corner pretty good. What more can you ask for from a high performace tire. I don't think any other 'Sticky' compound or dual compound tire would hold up any longer. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
