Review by DogfaceReviewed 12/27/2013by DogfaceCycling EnthusiastHot Springs Village, AR13 of 14 customers found this review helpful.Great tires for a fair price I slapped a pair of these on my Fanton 29 mountain bike as I do most of my riding on pavement. They are super smooth and roll easy. I have tried them on trials, too, and they perform quite well.
I am very happy with them. Much quieter, too, for stealth riding.
Reflective stripe a plus.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/17/2018by AnonymousCasual Cyclist2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Lovely tyre Installed on rear norco vlt r2 ebike. Can confirm that is the largest tyre that can fits on the norco, just.
Great on off road for casual ride just moderate tyre pressure inline with surface.
Stable cornering downhill at 55-60kph with higher pressures only. Gets squirrely at low pressures.

Review by Erik DReviewed 4/26/2018by Erik DDaily CommuterAnn Arbor, MI4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Floats over potholes and rough roads for a comfy commuteThe biggest slick I could find with a reputation for puncture protection. This is on my commuter rig (a rigid 29) and is much faster than knobbies on the asphalt and is able to go over the roughest roads here with ease. I've even taken these off-roading, on a local singletrack loop, and these handled better than worn out knobbies do. Slipped on some wet leaves, but they handle dry dirt very well. I'd consider getting these same tires on a single speed roadie, if I can find a frame that can accommodate them.

Review by JjamesReviewed 12/1/2017by JjamesCycling EnthusiastColorado Mountains4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.SmoothI put these on my stock rim for my 2018 IBIS Riply. My mountain bike tires are on a set of carbon wheels. I change wheels when I'm riding pavement. Kind of like having a super nice hybrid.
These tires are very smooth riding and roll efficiently. I'm pleasantly surprised.
However, they were a lot of work to mount. I needed three hands. Hope I don't ever have a flat.

Review by eldanothemanoReviewed 10/23/2017by eldanothemanoCompetitive RacerFolsom Prison, VA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Love these tires!!!These tires are of a generally round shape, with a pleaseant choclatey scent, and should not be used as hoola hoops, nose rings, car tires, a flotation device in case of plane crash, or as a clever disguise to rob various banks in your community.
I've got them on my e-bike, which is used to commute to work and back, and they are super cool. Very smooth ride, awesome grip, and chicks totes dig a nice set of tires on an e-bike right!?!?
Would buy again. Yep.

Review by JMCGILLZReviewed 9/22/2017by JMCGILLZCycling EnthusiastFair Lawn, NJ5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Great Urban Assault Tire!Best tire on the market for road and some light trail riding. I immediately put them on my DB 29er and they are all everyone says they are. I'm 6'3' 260 and they take all the punishment I can give them. New Jersey roads (Or lack there of...) aren't the best and a lesser tire couldn't handle the punishment. I run them with a tube at 55psi and I'm getting good performance numbers out of them. I do about 80 miles a week and I plan on running them through the winter if possible. The reflective side walls are an added bonus as well. NJ isn't the most bike friendly state - Be seen or be taken out! Will definitely purchase these again.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/1/2014by AnonymousHot Springs Village, Arkansas8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.These Big Apple tires roll on over the competition!Use these tires both on and off the trails on my 29er. They roll easy on pavement but still work well on fairly rough trails. I love the reflective stripe built in to the tires, too.

Review by DrBobReviewed 4/22/2013by DrBobCycling EnthusiastSpokane WA9 of 9 customers found this review helpful.Great tireI run this tire on a street MTB single speed. Very low rolling resistance and very good comfort on country chip and seal roads. Occasional construction or dirt trail no problem. This tire rides like a tire that is much lighter but with the advantages of a wider profile. Best MTB street tire yet.
