I am an amateur race enthusiast. So far, I have ridden two 100-mile races and the North Course of Unbound XL on these tires. These tires have handled mud, sand, and big and small rocks well. On Barry-Roubaix, I completed the course in under 6:30 to earn the coveted mug. In a Local 100-mile race, I won on these tires. Finally, I just finished UB XL with them. I had a puncture that quickly sealed, not noticing until I came home and cleaned the bike. After 700 miles of riding, the tread still looks great, and the tire keeps performing well.

love it

This tire is great for gravel/ off road

700x42, I put these on my 2017 Fuji Absolute bike and was able to tear single track mountain bike loops with confidence! These have so much grip. I don't weigh a lot so I'm able to drop the pressures down to 28psi with inner tubes and these handle rocks, roots, dirt with ease! I will for sure be buying these again.

Great tires. Use it as a front paired with the pathfinder on rear you get the fast rolling rear with the grip in front. Using this as a rear tire is good too the center knobs are supportive on the straights.

These are GREAT tires, stick well in just about anything you throw at them. Really love the traction they give in the gravel, goop and sand. They also roll pretty smooth and corner confidently on pavement, admittedly with a little noise. My speed on pavement is only off just a bit from the 32mm Armadillos Elites I normally run on the road. They aren't much heavier either. They are super easy to mount by hand on the Terra CLX wheels I have. I set them up tubeless with a regular tire pump, it was super super easy and I didn't need to break out the air can!!! They seated right up and held air immediately and I've had no leaky sidewall messiness since I put in the sealant. Note for the Creo SL folks, the 47mm fits, but has ZERO clearance for mud and goop. You really want the 42s, and even they might clog up in the really sticky mud. They are so good I won my age group (55+) at the first gravel (eGravel) race I've ever entered in my life in Kremmling last weekend... what a thrill!

These tires are great for concrete or gravel on trails.

It’s a fine tire, but (like most/all tires) volume will be impacted by rim width. On my 12-year old rims, the tire is significantly thinner than on my modern wheels. The difference is striking, and changes how the tire corners.

Great tires. Really grumpy and fast rolling

Finally I feel comfortable in mud and terrain.
