Pros: low rolling resistance
good grip
light weight

Cons: a wider 29er size would be nice
struggles a little in really loose conditions

Recommendation: This tire rolls much faster than it looks like it would. Grip is good in most conditions, but stuggles a little in loose stuff. Faster rolling than the Captain, more grip than the Renegade or Fast Trak.
