Maxxis Launches the Dissector: Brosnan's Signature Tire (press release)

Posted by Maxxis Bicycle on 8/9/2019 8:00 AM

The Good:

Looks Good.
Fast Rolling.
Super “fun” cornering.
Great dry traction.

The Bad:

Heavy.
Maybe Durability?

Overall Review: Vigilante light/high grip review. This is a short term review, as I have not had a chance to test the durability, or the wet traction on this tire.   The Vigilante comes in a few options but I went for the 2.5 light/high grip witch is there softer grippy tire. Generally grip is goo...

Tioga Introduces the Edge 22 - A Front Tire With Double The Cornering Bite (press release)

Posted by Tioga USA on 6/21/2019 2:29 PM

The Good:

Affordable-ish

The Bad:

Poor traction on rock and loose, rolling resistance, sidewall and puncture durability

Overall Review: These tires suck when it comes to loose over hard and rocks. I've been riding them for the past four months and I've washed out the front end four times. I also got a pinch flat on my very first ride. I don't know if it's the tread pattern or the tire compound but these tires seem to slip when i...
