I thought this would make a good rear tire. After 2-3 rides the tan seperated from the black and was ruined. Specialized warrantied it. I rode the replacement a handful of times in Colorado singletrack and it sustained a puncture right through the meat of the tread- not the sidewall. It was too large to accept a plug so the tire was ruined. Normal singletrack, not riding through an old nail factory. I get a bit wild, but I expect an MTB tire to accept some air. I would not recommend.

Have these tires on my Epic Evo for 2 seasons with some major endurance rides. Traction super and durable, no issues! Best tire in the market for its price!

Good fast rolling tire for hard packed trails and concrete. Just don't hit the dirt shortly after a rain or you'll have slicks 50 feet down the trail.

Good value, performed very well in less than ideal conditions

All good great tyre

Compared to another highly available name brand well rated tire I've used, these are faster rolling at 3psi less, and about 50x easier to seat on my rims when set up to be tubeless. How? Seriously? How?

Perfect for my type of riding , XC and the odd knarly DH .

Wasn’t happy with my current setup and wanted something different that was fast and grippy at a good value. Rode these tire 10 years ago so I gave them another try. They are perfect. Great tires at a great price. Fast and provided great traction. I run ground control front and fast track rear. Used them for a race and they performed great.

Usually tires that come with new bikes are not great but these have impressed me. I have over 1600 miles on my current set and they still have plenty of life in them. If you are looking for a solid all around tire these fit the bill.

Great all around XC tire
