Review by clemsonbikerReviewed 12/3/2014by clemsonbikerCycling EnthusiastGreenville SC8 of 9 customers found this review helpful.great over all tireI bought these tire to replace an ageing set of MTB tires. I got the 2.2 because they had them in stock at the time but when i replace the back i will probably go with the 2.4. That being said it might be a while before that happens as i have around 400 miles on them and you can barely tell they have been ridden. let me add that if you are a big guy ( I am 6.2 and around 260 lbs) and you ride a hard tail you have about 10 psi to play with between to hard and to soft ( i think the 2.4 might open that range up a little), but even with my weight letting the air out to 35 (the lowest recommended air pressure) they still role awesomely. Just don't ask the to break lose on most surfaces. That leads me to my only problem with this tire and that is water. on pavement slow down, off pavement BE CARE FULL and avoid mud. they also throw water like a fire hose so if you use your bike to commute get a set of finders.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/14/2021by AnonymousOakland1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Unicycle muchThis tire is great for unicycling street. Take a curb or an uneven patch of sidewalk with ease. A pedestrian approaching and you need to switch to the grass or gravel portion, or swing to asphalt - quickly? All good. Tufts of grass at the park will no longer slide by, and steep hills aren't a problem at all, with a little less air in the tire. And it's light as bumblebee wings.
I hear the sidewalls are a bit tender, so super-duper off road and downhill may not be the bees' knees on this package of all around robust design.
There is good reason why this tire comes so heavily recommended. This is the 26" x 2.4" version.

Review by nrstxReviewed 10/22/2020by nrstxSouth Texas2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great urban mountain bike tiresGreat urban tires for asphalt/concrete grip and low rolling resistance. They can handle hard pack, but suffer considerably on loose over hard. Found that out real quick when I laid my bike over cornering over a few leaves on some singletrack in the local park. Fairly easy to get flats on if you have any thorny thing near them but for a street/urban setup these are the way to go and the price wasn�t bad either. Great tires for my paved trail greenway bike but I�m a little warrior when I go off road to watch out for loose gravel, sand, or other trail debris I can slide out on pretty easily.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 4/10/2022by AnonymousFloridaGreat improvement over ten year old MTB tires Replaced some old aggressive tires that were on my trek 4300. These thing ride GREAT on asphalt with very little noise, compared to the more aggressive tires on the flat grass/sand/shell roads I frequent, I haven't noticed any loss like some mention.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/18/2019by AnonymousOlathe Kansas3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.RIDE, don't walk....Maxxis Holy Roller
This is a really nice tire. The tread design allows for smooth easy rolling while providing excellent grip and the ample sidewall flex is easy on your body. I ride on asphalt paved trails mostly. I've got about 40-yrs of experience on two wheels. (Dirt and Road bicycles as well as Dirt and Road motorcycles) Having raced Motocross for 10-yrs I have a tendency to push hard in the corners. These tires are very confidence inspiring. I run them at 30psi or so and they give me all the comfort I need while still gripping well under all sorts of cornering conditions. I consider them a winwinwin in the categories of pricevalueperformance.

Review by MikeReviewed 9/17/2018by MikeCycling EnthusiastMinneapolis2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great roadoffroad tireRolls awesome on pavement while maintaining some offroad handling when you want to hit hardpack or a gravel trail. It's a great balance for those looking for very little rolling resistance but not looking for a slick

Review by JerrReviewed 5/11/2021by JerrAKRON2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Rolls fast + grip for daysWasnt sure what to expect with these holy rollers before ordering. Turns out they handle quick, roll fast and you can bury them deep in fast corners. The casing is thin and flexible which is why they grip so well (watch out if you have bad luck shredding sidewalls with other tires). The large blocky square knobs keep tread squirm down, but give good traction in dry dirt and hard pack.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/15/2020by AnonymousGreat All Around TiresShipped fast. Easy install if familiar with tube changes. Good feel for multiple surfaces. My usage is mostly short gravel and concrete trails and asphalt between trail systems and these are perfect. Going on longer rides wanted to replace 20 year old tires. As you would expect, huge improvement.

Review by RCReviewed 5/31/2019by RCCycling EnthusiastFloridaGreat tireI bought this because I mainly ride on rail trails, but wanted sometching that would also work well off road. These tire roll better than anything I've tried on road and have proven plenty capable off road. No issues with these tires at all. They actually work better than I expected.
