Anyone know the weight?
what size wheel?
from memory, my 26" was ~ 820g
My two 29" ones weighed in at 900g and 940g on the kitchen digi-scales 😯
Slightly over 900g but oh so good on the front of my rigid steel 29er 🙂
Its lighter than a dual ply Maxxis tyre and I'd say slightly heavier than a single ply maxxis tyre.
I run one up front, or did until bike was pinched. New bike is due to have one fitted again this weekend.
For the money I don't think much else touches them. Great grip from the dual compound and it seems a really good compromise between a durable 60a that is not mega grippy and a sticky 42a that is a real drag.
I weighed my 26" one on crappy kitchen scales, 810g. Lighter than I expected given the description on the website. Interestingly I weighed a 26" smorgasbord at the same time and that was 820g.
I bought a pair for the Yelli when they were about £16 each.
They certainly do stick like **** to a blanket but riding up hill is like wading through treacle.
The front is staying but I've got a 2.25" Ardent going on the rear to hopefully speed things up a bit. It amuses me that I might lose 1/2 lb off the bike with just a tyre change 😆
lighter than you expect but heavier than you want!
