Strengths:
Very good traction in most conditions, relatively light weight, good cushion for a small volume tire. Rolling resistance seemed to be decent good too - not the greatest, but considering such deep treads it rolls pretty well.
It's pretty light for it's size too. Not light like a Karma or Crow, but decent.
Weaknesses:
It's not a big volume plush tire for those looking for that characteristic.

Bike Setup:
* Niner SIR9 f/f * Salsa Delgado Cross rims, Hope XC hubs, DT Comp spokes, 36x * Thomson post & stem * Airborne Ti bar, Odi Rogue grips, Cane Creek ergo bar ends * SRAM shifters & derailluers * RaceFace crankset, PW BB, Wipperman chain, SRAM cogs * Avid BB7 calipers & SD7 levers
Bottom Line:
A great all-purpose, small volume tire. Not necessarily made for the big tire fanatic. Not the fastest tire out there, but holds it's own. This lends itself to being a great rear tire.
But for those looking for a tire for general purpose riding, or for weekend warrior types who don't have the time or money to be switching tires for many different types of terrain, this tire is a very nice choice.
