Rode these for about 900 miles, mostly on road, and got a pretty good bulge after a pretty light gravel session. I ran them tubeless for that time and loved them up until that point. For gravel tires I expected them to last a little longer as the centerline of the tire has some significant wear.

Very nicely constructed tire. Light weight , wears well, and rolls very quickly on smooth roads. The knobs and 45mm are very confidence inspiring on the rough stuff. I�m on my 2nd pair I like them so much

I got these in the silk shield 45mm for my Diverge. They�re awesome tires for a mixed surface ride. Definitely plenty of rolling resistance, so don�t expect to set any PR�s on your road segments. Plenty of grip on gravel and light single track to have a little fun.

I really like these tires off-road. They connect well. I run them tubeless. Unfortunately I have had several flats requiring a boot and tube. I am very disappointed they are not more durable. The seem to puncture easily.

Great compromise tire for hard pack, gravel, pavement, single track. Experimented with tire by replacing my 29 x 2.25" with these (about 1.8"). Obviously they're lacking in deep sand. Good tires!
Review by Arcadian
I replaced a set of Donnelley 36 mm with these in a 38.The volume difference is noticeable. Today I rode a mixed-surface road to get an idea of how these tires performed. With 50 inflation, they did well on hard-packed dirt, loose gravel, and gravel with random golf-ball size rocks. The real test was the sections of the road that had been repaired with large-walnut size-rock. This was several inches deep, so the surface was very insecure. Although the tires weren't made for this kind of riding they gave reasonably good controlk and got me through. So far, I'm pleased with these tires, they feel safe and secure on rough road surfaces.

Good tire, rolls remarkably fast on pavement, decent traction on dirt but definitely more of a gravel tire than a cross tire with solid side knobs. Bought a 38, and on a 33mm internal it stretched out to 40 over the course of a couple rides in a week. That extra size meant it didn't clear my chain stays any longer, so I didn't get a thorough review.

Threw a set of these on an old CX bike for a couple of gravel events last summer. Kept the air pressure on e low end and enjoyed a reasonably plush and stable ride. Easy to mount and held air nicely. Raced an early season (dry) CX race with this set up. Performed nicely there too.

For an ultralight 40 mm tire this tire performs well. Particularly with regard to braking. If one were to require more cornering acumen, the Ravager is the one from this manufacturer. Also, the silk shield is the only way to keep cooked cauliflower from punching holes through that light casing.

Perfect tire for our activities reduces the likelihood of picking up a flat from road debris. Hardier material yet looks sleek on the wheels. Highly recommend this tire excellent price for the value.

Little knobbies worries me about rolling resistance but aft some rides they roll super on and off road.
Review by Overlander
Mounted these tubeless on Stans Grail rims. Mounted securely without much effort, seated with high-pressure blast pump. At higher pressure (60-65 psi), nice ride on pavement, good grip on turns, seems to roll well. At lower pressure on gravel (35-40 psi), traction good and generally secure on turns, improves comfort on my Kona Jake bike I use for gravel. No flats or damage evident from 500 miles of gravel road single-track riding. Would buy again.
Review by Jlowe
For a tubeless tire, the Rambler did meet expectations. The tire went on the rim entirely too easy and even with using a number of tricks could not get the tire to hold air and seat in a tubeless setup. The rim that was being used has seated a number of tubeless tires in the past and since. Maybe Ill try to use it if I ever decide to run tubes

I use this tire front and back for most gravel grinders, handles everything well with plenty of aplomb. Fast enough on tarmac and capable off-road (gnarly single track excluded). I also run this tire on the rear during CX races, fast and grippy for our mostly dry courses in L.A. A solid choice.

This is one of the best tires I tried for gravel. At only 490 gr is really a light weight tire.
Highly recommended.

Great intermediate tread CX tire. Likely not bad for wet gravel, but have not had a chance to try that use.

Typically run maxxix tires on my mtb, and is my go to choice. So when I saw these for gravel And read a couple of reviews, seemed like a good way to go. Pretty supple and good traction in dry conditions. Havent had them wet and muddy.

After I crashed in a curve with some new IRC Boken tubeless 40c tires I switched to these tires and so far, so good although I'm not hitting the curves as hard either.
