Description:Studs in the tread bars provide grip on ice and snow. Its open tread, good self-cleaning properties and gets where it is going in mud and snow. The Spike Claw barely sinks into the surface by virtue of its large volume. Available with either 120 or 240 studs of hardened steel.





Submitted by Norman Johnson a Cross Country Rider from Waterford, Michigan USA
Date Reviewed: December 25, 2007
Favorite Trail:Highland Recreation Area
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $70.00
Purchased At:Cycletherapy
Strengths:Good traction on snow / ice / leaf covered trails
Weaknesses:heavy, didn't handle laps on a slick frozen lake as well as expected (I thought they would stick like my old studded motocross tires would - wrong!)
Similar Products Used:None
Bike Setup:Yeti kokopelli with lots of XTR and SRAM components with Pushed Fox shock and Fox RLT fork. Great bike!
Bottom Line:These tires did well for intended use on trails with ice patches mixed with crusty snow - never crashed on some local trails, and only spun out on one steep climb. However, I was hoping to spin fast laps around a frozen lake, but had to keep it relatively slow with very gentle turns to avoid sliding on the glare ice.
