Pros
- cheap
- Low Rolling Resistance
- Sticky 3-c compound
Cons
- Heavier than nevegals
Best Uses
- DH
- Heavy XC
Why this tire was so much cheaper than everything else on Jenson I do not know. I do know that I made a good decision by buying these though. They stick way harder and roll way faster than the Kenda Nevegals I had on my One Ghost Tanto before. These things are a bit heavy but ride like a dream. These can take some abuse. Maxxis did not skimp on materials on these.
great for all around use, excellent to secure you through fast sharp turns which allows me concentrate on having a great time and not thinking if my tire is going to wash under me.
Pros
- Stick to the Trail
- Tough
Cons
- none
Best Uses
- All Moutain
- Downhill
- Freeride
- Trail
I just got these tires and they are just plain awesome. They are the toughest tires around and I have not found better ones out there.
Pros
- Good corner bite
- Pinch flat resistance
- Rolls Fast
Cons
- Loose transition cornerin
- Straight line braking
Best Uses
- Freeriding
- Hardpack
- Loamy conditions
I use this on a Giant Faith for big mountain style riding and occasional race depending on the track. Tire has good corner bite once commited to laying the bike over at full lean but has sketchy transition to corner knobs that feels like you are going to wash out. Knobs eventually grab and have good feel once at full lean but braking traction at any partial lean is terrible. Straight line braking is not terrible but not the best. Tire rolls quick. If you are looking for a two ply tire for a steal this is for you but if you want the absolute best performace or a DH race tire you are going to have to pay at least 45-55 dollars for a better tire.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros
- Bites just like a minion
- Fast Rolling
- Sale price
- Strong side wall
Cons
- Heavy
Best Uses
- all mountain
love the maxxis minion but too expensive. this tire handles just like it maybe bit better. pump up the pressure and it rolls fast. i use it for my stinky with lower pressure since the sidewall can handle it. run it high pressure for my XC/all mountain bike.
Pros
- Durable grippy fast
Cons
- A little Heavy
Best Uses
- Downhill
- Fast sweeping turns
- ROCKS
I use these tires on fast downhill forrest and rocky trails. They work great and stand up to the rough terrain which can sometimes consist of cactus and sharp rocks.
Pros
- Great price
- Size
Cons
- Weight
Best Uses
- Single Track
I got the 3c tires, and use them for single track and urban assault. They are great in the corners on dirt and have little rolling resistants on pavement.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros
- Grip in Corners
Cons
- Tacky slower times
Best Uses
- Heavy forest
- Loose gravel
- Quick declines
- Rock
- sand
- Steep inclines
I had these tires for seven months and nothing has made me feel more secure. This is the best front tire for all season. Best way to manage the weight is to find the Lightest inner tubing.
Once that is done NO Problems with speed!
