First time trying Kenda road tires
Mounted Kenda TLR just now to replace Schwalbe Pro ones! Kenda 25c tires are significantly more narrow than 25c Pro ones. In fact, they are even more narrow than 23c contis on wifes bike! I tried to upload pics taken to show how significant the narrowness is but this review will not allow pic. Very disappointed in this new anticipated release from Kenda. Will update after riding this week unless they are returned.(tires mounted on 2018 Bontrager Aeolus 5tlr carbon rims-wide)

A good tubeless tire
I can be tough on Kenda and certain other companies. Maybe it is just snootiness about better brand names ... I will admit. This tire however, is not quite as heavy as others but may be a bit softer tread. On bad roads that is not a bad thing. They are, like many tubeless tires, a real pain (in the true sense) to get on the wheel. Zipps claim to be faster and there are some new ones out which I may try, but I have yet to have any puncture problems with these and they seem to grip the road very well.

Mount quick, roll fast
Ok, tubeless tires that mount quickly, just a puff from the pancake compressor. And great ride character, on my commute bike, 28 c width kicks butt. Seems to be pretty durable too.
