Just got back from riding the Oregon Outback and these babies were awesome in all types of terrain, wet, dry, big rocks, little rocks and even sand and mud. My bike and gear were 70 lbs easy and I never ever had to think about my tires! Zero flats!

Easy mount, beads easy, good traction.
Rides good on or off road.

I bought these mainly for the puncture resistance. But they roll surprisingly well on pavement too. Most of the gravel riding I do is mixed pavement and gravel, so that's an important aspect to me. I run these tires tubeless with sealant, and they haven't let me down over thousands of miles now.

I love these tires. I ride everything from fast smooth gravel to rocky single track on these. They're dependable and pretty quick.

I bought a set to ride Big Sugar in Bentonville, AR. There were tons of flats. I didn't have any trouble. The traction is great.

Great tires, fast rolling and hooks up well in corners. They don't slow me down on road transitions either! Initial set up had some air leak from sidewalls but rest them on their side overnight with sealant in them and good to go.

I have used a bunch of different tires on my gravel bikes. Tried this in a 45, but had too much rolling resistance on the road. The 40 seems to be perfect for me. I actually think I have a flatter sweet spot of contact on the gravel with the 40 as well. This is my go to tire.

A pretty dirt specific tire. I use as a 50/50 tire, and burn through the rear tire pretty fast climbing on pavement. I have done some moderate single track with plenty of rocks and roots, and have plenty of grip climbing and descending. Nice casing running 120 TPI in both the 40 and 45 widths. I'll buy again.

Within the realm of gravel tires live almost too many options. Deciding where to go, what to select is challenging...
It doesn't need to be. Go with ramblers. It's really that simple. 60 tpi will be a slightly harsher ride, vs 120 tpi. But either are great depending on your needs.

This is a great tire for gravel riding and is perfectly at home with mixed surface (dirt and paved roads). Just purchased a set and was surprised that the 700 X 40mm - EXO/TR Black was listed at 375g per tire. Weighed at receipt and the tire masses were 442 g and 415g. This would not prevent me from purchasing another set in the future.

The tires easily, I did it bare-handed. Traction and road feel is good providing for a comfortable and confident experience. I recommend that you be mindful of your clearance if you are moving up from a narrow tire, these are tires have knubs at the edges that were a tight fit for my bike.

I like the tires , but the manufacturer is way off on claimed weight, my tires 700x40-120tpi weigh 470 grams. 75 more than claimed

Easy rolling and great cornering

I love the way these ride however they will not hold air. I have set up a lot of tubeless tires and never had problems like this. They go so flat over night that the sealant runs out. They have very little resistance to puncture. I am 71 years old and not that hard on things.
Review by LHCyclist
After only about 300 miles my rear Rambler 700X40C Silk Shield developed three large bubbles. I was able to puncture them and continue riding, but they continued to leak sealant. Obviously this is a small sample size and this maybe a one off kind of thing, but it warrants watching.
Review by Craig in MI
Over 600 miles already on these and holding up great. They roll hero gravel like a champ with enough tread to grab when the hero turns chunky and loose. When I decide to live a little more rowdy on some single track they are up to the task as well. All in all these are a great all around gravel tire in my book! Tubeless setup was so easy I was able to seat them with a floor pump by hand!
Review by Siggs
Very bad esthetically the black is painted up the sidewall in several spots and looks extremely unprofessional. I don't own a wallmart bike and if I did this would suit it. Totally unacceptable, should of never passed qc.
Review by Slipshot
Looking for a tire to do the TAT across Arkansas. I've found it. Just yhe right mix of toughness and roll. The silkshield does not make the tire too stiff. May need 3 hands to mount it, but very much worth the effort. Will buy again.

I purchased a set of these in June of 99 for my Lynskey gravel build They roll great and grip well in all but the roughest conditions They were a little fragile so when I started to get frequent leaks ( I'm running tubeless ) on the rear I replaced it with a slightly heavier silk shield version So far I am happy I did Holds air better and no leaks so far
