Reviews
I have put around 500 miles on these tires on multi-surface terrain. Everything from fine crushed stone found on bike paths. Crushed gravel found on state maintained country roads. And rough terrain found on unmaintained forest service roads. Of course I ride pavement to access these roads. These tires roll fast on the pavement. Even set some PR's on Strava while using these. These tires appear to be durable. Don't flat very easily. I have not tried these tubless. I'm using TPU tubes instead.
I ride a lot on the road and wanted a tire that would roll well but still hook up when riding some in the dirt. I don't expect these tires to hook up in grass or mud. But they see about 25% dirt roads with some occasional higher percentage. They have met my expectations and have held up well with training on the pavement. The rolling resistance on pavement is great, and when I am riding on dirt, I can corner with confidence as they seem to hook up just fine.
I got these to replace some Gravel King tires on my gravel bike that were showing some signs of failure despite a lot of tread life left. I started with just one tire and liked it so much that I have them on both front and rear now. They roll well, aren't as noisy because of the different tread pattern, and look great. I couldn't be happier with them.
