The 29x2.3 was 100 grams heavier than advertised, which is a big difference. Came in at 910 grams on the park tool scale. Otherwise it’s a pretty good tire. I’ll try something different next time.

Great tire!

Love these tires! ORAMM didn't have a chance! Full Grip and Fast Rolling

They have tougher / stiffer sidewalls, so they’re not the lightest, but I’m 100kg so that’s what I was looking for. Grip is good, tread is between grippy and fast. I got them on sale. Good value.

Just as great as the orig tire on bike. I like the 2.1 better than the 2.3. Now, I want another 2.1 for the back tire, too

Good tire

Good tire for price.

Great XC front tire and excellent value for mid-Atlantic trails

Ground Control 2.1 on 650b gravel bike are awesome. Not easy to find a less aggressive narrow tire for gravel and these are great. Riding single track on a gravel bike is like going back in time to before even front suspension on mtb’s. And of course drop bars make the 1 track even more exciting!

I have found that Specialized tires wear extremely well on my eMTB. T7 last 3x as long as T9. These Ground Control tires are less aggressive than they look in the images. I just mounted them and hope they grip. I have been running a Butcher in the front and an Eliminator in the rear. The Butcher and Eliminator are 2.6 wide and actually measure 2.6 wide with a caliper. These Ground Controls claim 2.6 but measure 2.4.
