Continental Race king racesport 2.2
528
520
Clamied 540(some claim 530) not sure on the age as they came off mt 13' vertex

So going through the posts, it looks like Conti has the best record for consistancy (if not coming in under claimed) really surprised by schwalbe specs being all ove the place.

Two more samples of Onza Canis 29x2.25 C3 120 RC2 Tubeless Ready: 627g and 643g.

This is my second time around with Onza Canis and this tire has incredible grip and durability. I put those tires through the TSEpic without a single scratch plus a couple of marathons trough very rocky terrain. Consider this...exactly one year ago on Onza Canis I won the same race I flatted yesterday with Race King Protection's...

The grip from the Canis really is surprising. However I think the bead is a little weak: It's the only tyre I've ever managed to tear completely off the rear rim. I wasn't running silly pressures either, about 28psi on a Ryde Trace XC (21mm internal width).

I pulled them off at that point and went Schwalbe, but I'd be tempted to try again on the front, as they're quite light for the volume and seem to roll well for the level of grip offered.

Canis up front, Thunder Burt out back could be a really nice 'hedging your bets' setup.

Ikon 29x2.35 exo 3c TR - 700g, 740g (claimed 740g).

These are impressive tires, mounted and aired up much like a ust tire. I installed the heaviest one on the rear, thinking it might be more durable.

New Maxxis Ikon 29x2.0 (non EXO): 554g. (560g claimed)

Best 29er race tire I've tried for Southern Cal conditions. I have the 27.5x2.2 on my trail bike. Love the fact that both bikes now have same tires.
