Date Reviewed: November 8, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Full Cycle | | Strengths: | Superb grip on hard pack or loose rocks, really predictable. | | Weaknesses: | Not quite as much grip in deep soft dirt. | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn Homegrown hardtail | | Bottom Line: | I initially bought a different Maxxis tire, but it was a lot narrower than I wanted. The bike shop didn't have any of those in the 2.35 size so suggested the Minion. I am a XC rider and was a little sceptical, but tried it anyway. I left on a trip and had to deal with what I had. Initially, the tires had no grip going up hills. No surprise there, so I flipped the tire around backwards, and have been amazed. On hard pack or loose rocks, I can climb steeper terrain than I thought possible. My legs give out before the tires slip. After about 400 miles on these tires, they are still holding up very well. I'm glad I went with this tire. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
