Fast rolling tire that works great on rails to trails, double track, etc.
Cons:
For more technical single track, especially if it''s wet or even a little muddy, you''re out of luck with these tires. Also, if you are running tubes, you better invest in a bunch of them. The side wall is very thin and there is almost no tread. Flats will be a regular occurance.

Comments:
I ran these until the rear tire got shredded the other day. Now I''m replacing both. If you ride out West on really dry, hard packed trails, these tires might be great. But out here in the East, they are terrible in all but the driest conditions.

Pros:
Quick, light.
Cons:
Very little grip in anything other than hardpack conditions. Wash out easily in mud.
Time Used:
6 Months
Comments:
I''m with the previous reviewer on these. They''re fine in hardpack conditions, corner okay and are light, But in anything wet or loose they''re sketchy and wash out easily. Used during the summer but as soon as it became wet I ditched them for something grippier and safer.

Pros:
Roll well on cinder and improved trail
Cons:
I disagree with the previous reviewer - I''ve been using these a while not - they clog too easily and provide very little grip when trying to get the power down over loose ground.

Had enough of these tyres, they are really only good for improved trails; If you want something that is going to work for you on unimproved XC with more than moderate decents (especially in muddy conditions) then look elsewhere.

Pros:
Fast, grippy, awesome on rocks and roots, wet or dry. Stick to the trails like glue, unbelievably fast and stable cornering! These are tubeless but I am running them on conventional rims with tubes.
Cons:
Not the greatest at shedding sticky mud.
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
These are the best tires I have ever had! Definitely worth the extra money. They handle very predictably in all conditions and my technical riding has improved immensely.
