Date Reviewed: June 18, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | north shore of frame lake, lol | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Price point | | Strengths: | low rolling resistance (downright fast); decent grip and cornering | | Weaknesses: | sidewall too thin on folding bead version for freeride (duh); would recommend, no wait, the DH casing is NECESSARY for any DJ/street applications | | Similar Products Used: | holy roller, K-rad, yellow kirin, high roller, nevegal | | Bike Setup: | Azonic steelhead, DJ1, shorty, 454 cranks, .243 pedals and handlebar, bb7 rear. | | Bottom Line: | The jumps I ride are in a sand/gravel pit. I was happy with the rolling resistance, grip, and cornering.
However, I purchased the 2.35 folding bead DTC version, and so I slightly tore the sidewall on a botched 180. But then my pressure was a little low for a thin tire and I weigh 220lbs.
If I had the DH casing the tire would still be on my rear wheel, as opposed to the yellow kirin (I live a small isolated town and so product availability is an issue). Rolls like a holy roller/k-rad, but corners surprisingly well on dirt.

$45.00 | | Strengths: | Kenda Short Tracker 2.35 folding.
True to size. Hi volume. Good pavement traction. | | Weaknesses: | Not too punchure proof. I pickup many Goathead thorns where I ride. | | Similar Products Used: | Conti Town and Country 2.1" | | Bike Setup: | Yeti AS-x setup in the winter for bike path riding just to keep fit. | | Bottom Line: | I like this tire. It works well for bike path and the occasional State Park singletrack. Does not hold mud. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$27.00 | | Purchased At: | Rodalink | | Strengths: | The name of John Tomac behind the product.
Kenda as a well known tire producer.
Light weight. | | Weaknesses: | Not as grippy as I expected, especially on loose surfaces.
Lots of rolling resistance. | | Similar Products Used: | Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.25 | | Bike Setup: | Giant MCM Team Carbon, XT and XTR | | Bottom Line: | Actually I was looking for an XC race tire to replace my Racing Ralph 2.25 which I feel too wide for my bike frame and need (between asphalt and single tracks).
I couldn't find anything around with a reasonable price compare to Panaracer and Michelin, so I decided to pick Kenda Short Tracker 1.9, but to be frankly, I didn't impressed very much.
Rolling resistance is significantly greater then my previous Racing Ralph, I can actually see how the center lugs design on Short Tracker is wider to each other which at the end will result a greater rolling resistance.
The lugs design which even lower then Racing Ralph, make it so unpredictable on loose surface.
Anyway, this is my first day's impression on the tire, I will re-submit my reviews after a few more rides.

$20.00 | | Strengths: | i recently purchased the 1.9" version for xc racing and riding. i ran them with tubes initially and recently converted them to tubeless using stan's sealant. the short trackers are light, have good grip on hardpack, and shed mud easily. the sidewalls are pretty thin though, so when i put the sealant in, there was leaking through the sides for the first few days until the sealant built up on the insides. | | Weaknesses: | durability? especially when running them tubeless. | | Similar Products Used: | kenda karma 2.0 l3r pro, wtb racing raptor. | | Bike Setup: | single speed, 32x18. | | Bottom Line: | so far so good! go for it! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
