Inadvisable as a purchase!

- Gerson, 14 September, 2025

So stiff that only after 3 hours of toiling with tyre levers did I get the outer tyre on the rim. This did result in 2 (new) inner tubes being punctured so still no use, frustrating!

Pros & Cons

Not mountable

Good tape, but don't get stroke out

- Paul, 19 July, 2025

High stroke and side stroke due to wrong inner tube?

Pros & Cons

Placement on rim not too bad...
Smooth tyre with low rolling resistance
Both vertical and lateral stroke in tyre...

Definitely do not buy

- Quin, 2 August, 2024

After blood sweat and tears got my tyres on my rim, then during my 2nd gravel ride had 3 flat tyres. In the 2000km I rode 7 flat tyres. Not at all satisfied for tyres of 50 euros each.

Pros & Cons

not durable
not leak-proof
very difficult to assemble

Great tyre when you get them fitted.

- KURT, 25 July, 2024

On the site I read already difficult to assemble, however, this may become "impossible to assemble". Blood(bling), sweat and just short of tears

Pros & Cons

Bolts smoothly
Good roadholding
Nice once mounted
"Impossible" to mount

Fast and beautiful tyre which could be a little more wear-resistant

- Lars, 15 October, 2021

Fine (fast) tyre with a good performance on both unpaved and asphalt surfaces. On coarser surfaces with, for example, larger rocks or roots, the tyre lacks grip, mainly due to its width. After 200km (on 80% unpaved roads) the tyre is already showing considerable wear

Pros & Cons

Looks
Quality
Rolling resistance
Comfort on coarser surfaces
Wear resistance

Imposition hell, driving top.

- Bas, 3 May, 2021

First time imposition not doable without tools (bbb tyre pliers and lezyne tyre lever). Watch your rim stickers as they may not come out unscathed. Tyres once on, good to go. Balls well, get through loose sand nicely. Can even ride with the 36 mm version under the minimum pressure of 2.2 bar without bumping into the rim flange on tree roots and in potholes.

Pros & Cons

Bulges well, even through loose sand
Looks
Drama with first-time imposition....

Great band with limitation

- Edward, 22 January, 2021

Have this tyre in 36 width on my cyclocrosser. Especially in the woods with lots of protruding roots, it gives you just a bit more cushioning than the traditional 32-width tyre. The tyre runs great and is incredibly supple. The tyre can also be used for quite a long time. Even in mud. Obviously a bit sliding but doable. I think the biggest disadvantage is the stud structure on the side. If you go sharply through a corner, these studs suddenly 'bite' and your handlebars get crosswise, as it were. This has caused me to fall a couple of times. In short, great tyre but if you ride it at the limit it clearly has limitations.

Pros & Cons

comfort
grip in mud
rolling resistance
riding at the limit
stud sidewall
