Date Reviewed: June 18, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Out & Back-- Palos | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$45.00 | | Purchased At: | Chicago Bike Show | | Strengths: | Mounts easy
Holds up as the miles add on
Grips well in corners
Rolls Fast | | Weaknesses: | Really only good on hardpack to slightly loose | | Bottom Line: | I paid $40 for a set. They have had a lot of miles on them and still look and work great. However, if the trail gets too loose or muddy, these aren't tires you want on. Side knobs grip the corners well. I was very impress how the tires held up in turns at Stumpfarm which is a sandy hardpack. The corners were kinda loose, but the side knobs really dug in. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$35.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Nice packaging, they come unfolded
Sealant, rim tape and tire level included
Light
Black wall
Fast rolling surface
Eazy to install
Holds air | | Weaknesses: | Only sutable for hard packed | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale Scalpel 3000 '03 all stock | | Bottom Line: | This is my first impression, as I didn't put a lot of milage thru them.
They mounted easily, used soapy water like they recommended in the intruction. I like the idea that Maxxis include a tire lever, very convenient. 15 minutes later, after installing the tires, I gave them a spin in front of my place and I noticed a huge difference. Before, I was riding with a Hutchinson Python UST in front and a Scorpion UST in the back. They were very noisy and vibrated like crazy, specially the Scorpion. Now, it's super smooth and effortless. They seems to hold air better than the Hutchinson too. At 35$ for the set on Ebay, it's a steal! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 16, 2004 | | Favoriate Trail: | Blue Mound State Park | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$5.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Swap | | Strengths: | Fast | | Weaknesses: | Easy to puncture on gravel due to lack of knobs in the middle- I got a flat on a gravel road, but have never had a flat on xc trails. | | Bike Setup: | Fisher Sugar 2+ Stock with Crossroc Ust rims raceface crank | | Bottom Line: | I got these at a bike swap for $5.00 each only got them because they were cheap and looked like they would roll fast. They are not good for real loose ground, wet grass, or mud. Great for hard packed trail. I give only 3 for value because if you have to pay $60.00 they are not worth that. But would be a good deal at half of that and a great deal for $5.00. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
