Date Reviewed: September 15, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Meadows | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Pretty low rolling resistance. | | Weaknesses: | Does not corner well | | Similar Products Used: | Mutano Raptor, Maxxis Minion, high roller | | Bike Setup: | Haro Hardtail | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line is that I was a new Mtn Biker when I began riding. These tires came on my mtn bike stock, but as my skill improved it became more apparent that these tires were not up to the challenge. I would say they are maybe average all around, but do not excel anywhere enough to brag about. My biggest gripe would be they do not grip well. I wouldn't spemd money on these... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 12, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Horashim, Ramot Menashe | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Came stock on the bike | | Strengths: | Fast rolling tyre, last long, good on cornering, work well on most types of terrain (wet or dry) | | Weaknesses: | Small blocks | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Resolution 2.2, WTB Wierwolf 2.1, Maxxis ignitor 2.1 | | Bike Setup: | Haro Shift R3 (upgrades - RockShox Recon 351 fork, Avid Juicy 5 front brake) | | Bottom Line: | I like these tires very much. I used them for over 1400km and blocks are not worn out yet (I guess there is still room for 300km more for rear and more for front). I ride in rocky, sandy and muddy conditions and sometimes on the tarmac and tyres handle all well.
I have tried other tyres but not on my bike and didn't like so much as mine (although it might be the bike setup that influenced my feeling of the tyres).
These tyres are great for XC riders from beginner to experienced.
I use about 45 PSI and never pinched flat. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: April 12, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Bolinao Patar Trails and Caliraya | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Stock wheel of my bike | | Strengths: | Sturdy, can handle heavy riders like me, good on cornering even on slippery muds and sands. | | Weaknesses: | Slow in the tarmac. | | Similar Products Used: | Michelin, Panaracer Fire | | Bike Setup: | Haro R3 Shift set up | | Bottom Line: | This wheel is best installed for the AT bikes, but if you plan to use your bike for commuting, i mean more time on the road than the trails try to look for another. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 17, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Yellomundee XC Course | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Came on the bike | | Strengths: | They're not expensive and work reasonably well on most types of terrain. | | Weaknesses: | Wore out quickly and became totally useless toward the end of their life. | | Similar Products Used: | WTB Velociraptors. | | Bike Setup: | Stock Norco hardtail used mostly for general trail riding with the occasional XC race. | | Bottom Line: | They came on the bike when I purchased it and worked fairly well in most conditions. I ran them at 35psi and never pinch flatted but toward the end became useless because the blocks are so small, they also wore out very quickly in about 300km's. They were ok but not really good enough as your riding ability increases to the next level, I won't buy them in the future but they're fine for a beginner, not bad for a cheaper tyre. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 4, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | The Abyss backwards | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Arrowsmith Cycles | | Strengths: | Good traction cornering in sloppy conditions,not too bad uphill on slick roots and rocks, rolled nicely on the pavement on the way to the trailhead, easy to set the bead on the rim | | Weaknesses: | Spun a little easier on uphills than I would like (I had the psi a little higher than normal) and they're heavy. Not sure how they'd hold up after a summer of hard technical riding. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | At the lower psi range they felt soft and pinch prone, at higher psi they spun easily. I'm sure there is a happy medain in the 45-48 psi range. | | Bottom Line: | I borrowed these tires off my girlfriend's bike when my trusty Pythons died simulataneously. While overall performance was average, I was impressed how they cornered in the slop. I'd recommend them as a good all arouond tire if you don't want to fork over higher prices for performance tires. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
