Although BicycleRollingResistence.com measured the Reaver as only marginally faster than the Rambler despite Maxxis' claims, I could definitely feel the difference on tarmac. It simply rolled smoother and quieter with the reduced center tread. It also felt like it spun up a little quicker even though weights were about the same. Once on chunky gravel, however, I can't say that I noticed any perceptible improvement. I will race it soon and see if it gives me wings. I paid close to full price as I am often an "early adapter" and I bit on the Maxxis hype. I would wait for a better sale if you are in the market for some new meats.
I�m using the Rekon race 2.4 in the rear with a standard Rekon 2.4 up front. Great traction in our frequent damp sand soil. It is heavy and rolls well, but compared to say my Kenda Rush or Booster, it rolling resistance is far greater and you can really feel the weight. Makes for a good winter tire combo with Rekon/Rekon race.
I use these tires on my Trek 920. It�s my work horse bike, load up, mucky weather, just ride. I tried another tire before and went back to the Pace. It is smooth on pavement but has enough bite to be capable on off road. Though I wouldn�t consider it a �crazy� off road tire it handles a lot of conditions well which is what I need on this bike. And it just makes the bike feel good, the uniform tread corners well and it feels comfortable. Just a really good all round tire.
Bought these for a gravel bike that is used on chipped and tarred roads and other poorly maintained roads with occasional rail trail type surfaces. These tires handle the chipped surfaces taking care of most of the vibration you receive. When you get to decent pavement they ride like a dream , fast and handle well in fast downhill turns. The volume handles the clay and crushed limestone trails we have. For a high volume, low pressure tire this tire does extremely well on roads and trails . Have only put on about six hundred miles on them so far. But running through glass on several occasions and other road side debris I am quite pleased with their durability and flat resistance. One of the few items I felt truly needed to be heard about .It certainly fills a niche.
