Alex a XC Rider from Juneau, Ak writes:
Have used these tires over the past year in the dry dusty trails of NorCal, then recently moved to wet and rainy Juneau AK, tires still perform well. Dont grip to wet logs/roots well, but wet rocks haven't been an issue. Remain very stable at high speed cornering. I had only 1 spill last season, but it was 25+ on a very loose banked decline, so I wouldn't necessarily blame the tires. Overall good experiences.
Product Used For: 1 Year
Product Strengths:All around good traction, never had a flat with these. Good cornering, give confidence and stability to your riding
Product Weaknesses:Have light slippage on loose climbs (then again, what tire doesn't), and same on wet roots/logs.
My Bike:KHS FXT team, mostly xc/ all mountain riding

Lance a XC Rider from Dallas Texas, Usa writes:
AWESOME!!! I don't think I will ever venture away from Panaracer tires. I've tried quite a few different tires... But this one Beats em' all in my experience.
Product Used For: 6 Months
Product Strengths:I love this tire! It handles great in sharp turns and climbing on just about every terrain I've ridden with it. I have yet to have a flat as well. At first I thought it was a little cheesy looking, but It grew on me and I dig the look!
Product Weaknesses:I've had a few spills on high speed cornering when on very dry terrain.
My Bike:Custom built Marin Bobcat.

David a XC Rider from Gaithersburg, Md United States writes:
A great quality tire that i ride and love to sell at my lbs. Could use a bit more traction for the slippery parts, but the low roll resistance and steer control that this tire offers more than makes up for this one downside. Also: it's RED!
Product Used For: 2 or More Years
Product Strengths:Steers well, Great F&R Tire. Most importantly (as i'm sure you'll agree): badass black on ragin' red looks sweet.
Product Weaknesses:Caution: Slippery when wet. All other times is great. Morning after a rain/ clearing a river slips everywhere.
My Bike:Black Bike, Old X.9, Mavic 717 Rim Brake, Race Face deus xc.

Jeremy a XC Rider from Marquette, Mi United States writes:
Bought first pair five years ago--basically because they matched my orange and blue rig. Just put on my third pair because I like riding them, their cheap and they look good. Wouldn't recommend them for city riding or muddy conditions though.
Product Used For: 2 or More Years
Product Strengths:In Marquette there everything: hardpack, sand, rock and roots. The tires perform well in nearly all conditions. They last, and I seldom flat.
Product Weaknesses:Don't shed mud at all. Not the best tires for those sloppy early season rides. A bit heavy.
My Bike:The tires are on a Schwinn Homegrown hard tail and run a 2.1 up front and 1.8 in the rear.

Clinton a Weekend Warrior from Singapore, Singapore writes:
Really great all round tire. Compared to the stock Bontrager Jones ACX tire 2.2 these look better, roll a little faster and grip a little better in damp conditions. The Jones shed mud better and is a little more stable over sketchy ground (although not sure if this is due to the extra volume at 2.2). Overall I will stick with the Panaracers.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:Great all around tire. Durable, good grip in most conditions. For a full knobby this has great weight and low rolling resistance. Also looks great.
Product Weaknesses:Cakes up a little in thick mud. Not a problem unless going up a steep slope.
