excelent on grass
Cons:
bad in anything else, soft tyre-they wear out fast when on gravel. Bad control in fast turnings.

Comments:
on low and medium air pressure the tyre cannot be driven. it deforms dangerously.
I had to pump it always at 4 - 4.5 bars if I wanted to drive it normal.

Pros:
None, they suck.
Cons:
If you like slippin', sliding and total lack of control, you will love these tires.
Time Used:
Less Than A Month
Comments:
These tires came Spec'd on my Giant VT1. After 2 rides on them I went right to the bike shop and swapped them out. Horrible traction and grip, and I got a serious blowout flat the second time I rode on them. Go with the IRC Mythos XC or the Panaracer Fire XC - muche better choices.

Wouldn't buy them again, poor traction for the most part and will dry rot and wear in a few short months of use. Kinda amazing how they self destruct so fast.

Pros:
Good looks. Hook up nice for about the first 100 miles of use.
Cons:
These things wear out FAST. Rubber becomes dry. Poor traction. Have to pump my tires up before every ride (I haven't used a sealant yet though)
Time Used:
6 Months
Comments:
IMO, these tires are crap. They came speced on my Jekyll and after only 200 miles, the rear one needs to be replaced. The rubber has become dry and chunks of the lugs are missing. I've ridden the exact same terrain on other tires and NEVER experienced wear like this. Unless you can get them for cheap, stay away.

Pros:
nice grip on corners (much better than Pythons), good mud tires as well as hard pack and dust
Cons:
not cheap, but this is the norm for tubeless, showing some wear in middle of tire
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
I bought these tires sort of on impulse. I was out at Snowshoe, WV for the 24-Hours of Snowshoe. The course was very muddy and I had on a pair of Pythons which I'd been using for about 10-11 months (they came with my bike). I never really liked the Pythons much. they seemed to slip out a lot, especially around corners. The Scorpions are new from Hutchinson this year. They are listed as not being good for hard pack, but I've found they work well in all conditions, even in hard pack. I can now corner much faster then I was with the Pythons. The Scorpions seem to be a combination of the Pythons and Hutchinson's Mosquitos. The knobs are low in the middle, bt a bit higher on the edges. My only complaint so far is that they are expensive, but so are most tubeless tires these days. Also, it looks like some of the knobs in the center are starting to wear.
