The Good:

Incredible traction on all kinds of rocks.
Incredible protection from all kinds of rocks.
Solid performer on hardpack.

The Bad:

When it comes to tyre choice, their naming convention is somehow even more chaotic that most...

Solid tires and my new ...

Tires and inserts (forum topic)

Posted by thejake on 9/1/2019 7:09 AM

The Good:

-Not the most expensive even at MSRP
-Good rubber that seems to last
-Good flat resistance

The Bad:

-Rolling resistance vs grip ratio

I had originally purchased the new revisited 2018 E Thirteen TRS+ tires from JensonUSA, but after seeing pictures and reading reviews, the new squarer shape ...

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:
