Nevegals are solid gripping by far, but yes, they do have more rolling resistance. The compromise is the Maxxis Ardents. They have the same solid grip & treading of the Nevegal, but are lighter, and much faster tires (lower rolling resistance).
I was introduced to the Ardents not too long ago, so I tried them, and I was amazingly impressed with the results. I have always rolled with Nevegals with the exception of trying a few others, but the Ardents are awesome tires.
Just my two cents…… 😉
Good luck!
