Well pleased with the traction and this tire. I have it mounted tubeless on the rear. It was easy to mount and easy to seal. Great traction, braking and climbing.
Pros: Traction, easy mounting and sealing tubeless.
Cons: none
Would Buy Again: Yes

Looking at the knobs that are going again the grain, I first thought, Oh gee why did I buy this tire?! But after a few rotations on terra firma these tires roll pretty well.
For a 2.3, it looks like at least a 2.4, its about the same width as my $60 each Maxxis Ardent 29ers without that price tag. I purchased the wire bead version from Universal.
I have it on the front of my free ride 29er with a dual crown fork. It tracks the dirt well and like I said it rolls pretty good. Its a pretty wide tire if you plan to put it on a hard tail bike, I would suggest a 5-6" bike due to the weight (wire bead)
I only had it for a month and I don't think the Ardent is in my future anymore, mainly due to the price and this tire grips as well anyway. Highly recommend and I also like the name of the tire, hahah.
Pros: Rolls easy, looks as wide as a 2.4, very grippy on hard pack, looks expensive, like the name of them, slips on easier than most 29er tires. Would buy again.
Cons: wire bead as expected and more heavier, looks like a rear tire specific tread
Would Buy Again: Yes
