Description: (from wtb.com)
The Mutano Raptor is derived by mating three of our most popular treads—we combined the fast-rolling centerline of the Nano, the aggressive square blocks of the Moto Raptor and the grippy working edges of the VelociRaptor. The result is a highly versatile and predictable tire that keeps its speed and traction on any trail. The 2.4-inch model actually weighs less

than 600-grams, making it a real standout in the world of large-volume XC race tires.

Pros
Light weight, long lasting tread. High volume smooths out the rough stuff.
Cons
The profile is too tall for a 2.4. It seemed like it should be a little fatter for better transition into the corners.
Review
A decent tire that I'd consider running again.

Pros
Weight of the 2.4. Low rolling resistance.
Cons
Tires can get loose on anything that isn't hard pack or dry rock and pavement. Poor traction on loose rock, roots or wet areas (most east coast riding). 2.4 sizing is questionable; seems more like a 2.25
Review
This is a pretty good tire when used stricktly on hard pack in dry areas. It rolls very fast and is pretty light too when you use the 2.4 version. When you try it out in other conditions it leaves a lot to be desired though. WTB markets it as being good on "hardpack to loose" terrain but I would have to disagree with the "loose" part. The front tire will drift like it has a mind of its own and don't even waste your energy trying to get traction on wet roots with these boys. I'd like to try them in on a full "slickrock" trail as I think that this is where they would excel. If hardpack is your trail, you will not be disappointed. But, if your trails are a little less forgiving, go for a more gnarly tread pattern.
