A nice beginner tire for riding on hard pack trails, paved trails, or gravel roads. I have picked up quite a few thorns with them so they might be a bit thin. I run them at 40 PSI w/ tubes and they provide decent traction of rocks and roots. Pump them up to 60 PSI and they roll great on streets/paved trails.
Pros Low rolling resistance
Lightweight
Decent grip when aired down
Not too stiff
find a cheap pair & try them on a hard packed trail...
Pros
Fast
Skinny
Grips
Cons
| Thank | Editcould puncture easy but haven't had that issue yet...
