If you don’t want to read all the way to the bottom, I’m going to put a short summary below. Be warned I cracked the fancy carbon links that come on the S-Works model only. Fluke? Suspension tuning problem? Maybe my super enduro smashing powers? Not sure, but it was the same run I cracked a Reserve Carbon wheel on last week. I will further update this review once I see how specialized handles warranty claim. This is a race bike that is competent enough climbing to be a daily driver if you can only have one bike, and you...

Thanks for response. That all makes sense to me. My 2017 Stumpy has the (pretty heavy stock) Traverse OEM wheelset with 29 mm internal width rims (currently shod with Nobby Nic 29 x 2.6) so I've looked at the Flows but they seem pretty heavy compared with the Arch Mk3. The Arches obviously can handle some serious trail riding having watched your video.

You are correct, this was tested on a 30mm width, 26mm internal Stans rim. I decided not to upgrade my wheelset just to do a tire review. There are many riders out there that have an existing setup, and might not want (or have the $$) the get a new rim or wheelset. I chose to test the tires as a 'normal rider' and see how they would perform on my standard ride. The tire worked super well as far as grip is concerned, and I couldn't perceive any casing squirm, which is one of the only downfalls I could...

This tyre being at WT is designed for 30-35 mm internal width rims. Interesting that in the test video they were fitted to Arch Mk3's which have an internal width of 26 mm.
