| FavoriteTrail: | 401 |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Purchased At: | Came Stock with Bike |
| Strengths: | They were mounted on the rim when I bought the bike. |
| Weaknesses: | No grip. |
| Similar Products Tried: | velociraptors |
| Bike Setup: | Trek Top Fuel 8 |
| Bottom Line: | These came stock on my new Trek and I'm really surprised at the lack of grip. I think you could nail and superglue these to a rock and they would still slip. Granted, I've ridden nothing but velociraptors for the past ten years, so maybe I'm spoiled or maybe that's just a testament to the WTBs. But after six rides on these Bontragers, I plan on replacing them asap. If you buy a new bike that comes with these, replace them right away. If you're buying a new tire, don't bother with the AXC. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Sierra Vista |
| Duration Product Used: | 2 Years |
| Price Paid: | $20 |
| Purchased At: | The Bicycle Company |
| Strengths: | Super Grip and cornering. Incredible climbing when pressure dropped. Downhills like slalom skiing. These are light and supple. |
| Weaknesses: | The price for grip and handling is wear. These things wear fast. Get extra when they are on sale, you will be surprised how quickly the knobs go away. Wasted capabilites if you don't need the grip and don't push your bike. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Raptors, Michelins, Geax |
| Bike Setup: | FUEL 90, Hayes discs, Shimano XT rim/hub, riser bars for the drops |
| Bottom Line: | Question of price. these are the tires when the price is right. Fast. |

| FavoriteTrail: | CR baby |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Purchased At: | www.highgearcyclery.com |
| Strengths: | Good grib, turns fairly well |
| Weaknesses: | Wears down fast, side walls are weak. |
| Bottom Line: | Not a bad stock tire. There is worse ones out there. This is an okay tire. I would never race it, but its okay to have as a back up. I am doing the chillies based on it being a stock tire, not on it being a tire itself. |
