Pros: 2.35 as a 29er, shed mud, great grip, long lasting.

Cons: Heavy..but isn't everything on a 29 inch wheel?

Recommendation: Very similar to Nevegal tread design, but without the soft rubber. An awesome front tire that gives confidence when digging for traction in a corner. I then mated with a Small Block 8 29 on the rear, the best XC race on packed I could find.
They wear very well and plenty of volume for you to play with air pressures.
