Strengths: First off, this a really good tyre that’s perfectly suited for all mountain/enduro riding. It sticks like velcro to loose gravel over hard pack, mud, and roots. It’s a predictable tyre that loves to be shoved into the turns. It took me a couple rides to get used to how far these tyres lean before letting go. Once I did, they really came alive. When they do let go, it’s no big deal. They slide. They recover. They beg for more.

Weaknesses: They aren’t the lightest of tyres and they do seem to wear a bit quicker than normal. They are quite pricey but in my opinion they are worth the money.

Bottom Line:
Overall, these are great confidence inspiring tyres. Try them if you ride a wide range of terrain and want to be ready for anything.
