Good balance of grip and rolling speed, comparable grip to a Minion DHF Max Grip but with more better corning transitions in my opinion. I have around 12 rides on this tire so far in south west BC and am really happy with it. Good cornering grip on hard pack, good grip on the wet and loose stuff, stays planted on the steeps under hard braking. Better side wall support than other comparable tires I've ridden at low ish pressures (21-24psi). I wish they made it in this compound for 650b wheels like they do with the T7 version. I'll definitely continue to run this as a front, won me over from my usual Minion go to.
