Tyre Size: 2.4 and 2.2
I have ridden with these on a bike on a few occasions and they roll very well and grip is average. But the major disadvantage with them is when they lose grip as it is sudden and dramatic. Also they do not seem to like tree root when wet and it gets almost to the point that you try and ride around roots then over them.

I have ridden these tyres in both 2.4 and 2.2 and the 2.2 are a much lighter and better rolling tyre that are very close to my 2.3 Racing Ralph's. But at least the racing Ralph is meant to be a summer/dry light weight tyre.

Also I have found that the EVO version is very hard to get on to a Tubeless combatable rim, to the put where I have snapped plastic tyre levers.

Yep I had some of these and then were crap, and for the price they charge they should be the best you can get. You always see them on top of the range bikes to you think they are going to be good....but they are crap !!!
