$15.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | fast rolling, puncture resistant, light weight
| | Weaknesses: | noise on road | | Similar Products Used: | | | Bike Setup: | Whyte 46 | | Bottom Line: | A fast rolling tire that works well on hard pack, as it is designed too. Rather noisy (Whine) when used on road.
Looks small compared to other tires of the same size.
These tires, Combined with a Hope pro2 rear hub, I must be 1 of the noisiest riders out there!
Recommended more as a spring/summer tire, or if you ride on dry/hard terrain, as this is where these tires excel, and were designed to be used.

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Very light, fast rolling | | Weaknesses: | loose or wet conditions | | Similar Products Used: | Schwalbe Ralph, Kenda Karma, Larsen TT, Python, Intense System 2 etc... | | Bike Setup: | K2 Razorback | | Bottom Line: | If you want a fast XC tire for dry hardpack, this one deserves a serious look. The tire seems a bit on the small side for a 2.1 however most tire manufacturers seem to rate tires that way. It gives good performance on hardpack and dry grass with decent braking and cornering for this type of tire. It is really close to a semi-slick, so don't confuse this with an all-mountain tire or a full knobby. When the conditions get loose, sandy or muddy, it is really up to the rider to make it work, because the tire doesn't... However it really isn't intended for that right? I would rate this tire right in there with the Karma and Larsen TT. It corners as well as the Karma, but better than the Larsen. I like the Ralph better all the way around, but it isn't in the same price range. If you have to deal with sand, I'd pick the Larsen or better yet, the Python. So I'm going to give it 4 out of 5 to counterbalance the bad review for how this tire works in the loose stuff (I'd otherwise give it a 3 for "good") - I'm rating the tire for what it is intended for... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$ | | Purchased At: | Bike Factory | | Strengths: | Fast, low rolling resistance, light. | | Weaknesses: | Awful grip in loose gravel | | Similar Products Used: | Velociraptor, | | Bike Setup: | Whyte E5 | | Bottom Line: | I would not recommend these tyres, they wash out too easily and feel like biking on ice. They may be ok on hardpack surfaces but on any loose trails they do not inspire any confidence. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$ | | Purchased At: | 30 | | Strengths: | Weight, rolling resistance, GRIP, Anti-Snakebite Chamfer | | Weaknesses: | Volume closer to a 2.0 | | Similar Products Used: | Racing Ralphs, Mibro, Mythos | | Bike Setup: | GT IDXC 2.0, carbon bar, Stan's NoTubes | | Bottom Line: | Great XC tire, great grip given their speed. Usable in mud if you ride smoothly. With NoTubes, a supple, fast rolling tire. Better than Ralphs IMHO. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

High volume = less pinch flats & more traction
Very fast rolling
Great price and value
Panaracer has probably the best rubber compounds for mtb and road tires.
| | Weaknesses: | Not great for wet or loose conditions, but Panaracer has the Rake and Cinder to take care of those conditions. | | Similar Products Used: | | | Bike Setup: | Kona Dawg with Fox Vanilla fork. | | Bottom Line: | I raced Super D this past season with the Razer XC as a rear tire . They're very light and fast rolling to be used as XC racing tires. The high volume and good traction make this a fun trail riding tire as well. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
