Favoriate Trail:Flowy trails
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $33.00
Purchased At:Local shop
Strengths:VERY good grip when its dry. Rolls great. Looks great. trend tire in streetbikes. Looks fantastic. Enough light compared to other street tyres.
Weaknesses:Durability, you may need two pairs of them for 1 season if you are riding more than once a week. Glass and sharp little stones are like mines for this tire.
Similar Products Used:Nokian XXX, hookworms, panaracers similar tyre...
Bike Setup:Cannondale Chase
Bottom Line:Very good street tyre for smooth riders and weight weenies.
Some say they will get snakebites easily, but thats only half true! If you use proper tyre pressures and try not to break it by purpose it will last as long as tyre should.
I have tried multiple tyres for this kind of riding and only 1 i think could be better is tioga fs100.

Date Reviewed: November 25, 2006
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $15.00
Strengths:cheap, look like snakeskin when wet, good sidewall protection (rim to rim profile)
Weaknesses:accelleration (heavy), puncture resistance, grip when wet (feels like soap), snakebites every week
Similar Products Used:Ritchey tomslicks (less flat Tires though 1.0 !), many others
Bike Setup:daBomb Cherry Bomb, sherman, hayes ...
Bottom Line:one of my bigger disappointments in ten years of mountainbiking, this Tire is labeled "street", weights nearly as much as other real street tires and offers the protection of a road tire. My tubes now nearly consist of patches. Don't waste your money.
