“Have both front and rear of these ( 29 x 2.1 ) on my Specialized Awol which I use for touring with full panniers (35 kgs) . Mine have 40psi rear and 35psi front. They weigh 635 and 605 grams. I Have taken some 2 day trips on them, so far and very pleased with them. Speed on tarmac is quite good, on hard and medium forestry roads speed is impressive. I also found them to be very stable and predictable on any surface with handling being excellent. Braking on all surfaces I found to be excellent. For me my riding is mainly touring using mostly mixed surfaces 60/40 probably in favour of tarmac. With regards to fitting the rear pumped up with a track pump first time however the front would not and I had to use a compressor. Both have had sealant put in in case of punctures. For the first weeks both tyres lost about 3psi but then settled down. Will I be buying any more, yes definitely. Good tyres and decent value.”

“This is effectively a BMX tyre in 27.5in. Fast-rolling, nice round profile, light, fast accelerating. Good for Singletrack, paths, tarmac, pump tracks, XC, etc. I’m using these on my hardtail at the moment for general blatting about and really enjoying the ride.”
