Lol each to his own taste wise I suppose, red stuff came off my Moondust Niner A9c so my hand was forced but I like orange niners with red bits. I have always had Black bikes so wanted to go a bit mad this time, pearlasant Tang fitted the bill 😆
Aaaaanyway tyres
Went for a wetter than expected ride today and the Burts where very capable, very surprising which seems to be a constant theme with feed back on these tyres.
They spin up brilliantly and roll noticeable better than the already fast Raplhs. On climbs out of the saddle on wet mud and chalk I has no spin outs(running 20psi front 22psi rear) off camber stuff seemed fine but maybe a little skettchy at the intermediat point just before the side knobs dig in.
The only “oh crap” moment I had was in a deep 4″ deep bit of mud where I turned sharply at slow speed to try and avoid a r.ock and it slid a bit but I think the ralph would have done the same. Breaking on the rear was more prone to locking as well.
Overall for a dry tyre bar mental mud the burt is very capable and worth a try (at £30 quid from wiggle at the moment it is worth a punt) but I would only ride the snake skin

Not the best quality scale but it tallies with my fancy digital bathroom scales that shows 8.9kg
