Never ridden them in anger, what are peeps experience/opinion on them? Won't be using them for anything super knarly mainly flowy single track, fire road, grassy hilly stuff etc.... cheers

Raced them for a season, they weren’t too bad. Personally, I feel they were a bit of a turning point, that’s when tyre tech started to shift and lead the way for what we have today.

They’ll be fine for your needs.

Thanks, appreciate the heads up

I had a pair on one of my retro bikes back when I used to ride them more often. Decent tyres tbh and perfect for what you suggest.

They came up at bargain prices a few years or 10 back and many of us bought them.
Most used a front tyre on the back too and they work perfectly well for everyday retro riding, tracks, moors, peaks and simple trail centres like Dalby and Sherwood Pines.

Yeah, I got mine at the same time as Fluffy. Front and back, no worries.

I remember them as lightweight but rather "vulnerable". Ripped more than one of them on sharp rocked descents.
