Great XC/Down Country Tire! |

I ran Ron 2.25 for the past 2 years racing. These are similar but there are definitely a few advantages. 1. The SCT casing is considerably more durable. Already I have hit a few rock gardens that I normally would avoid on XC tires as they have put a few of them to the grave early. Secondly, rolling resistance feels very close to the Rons at lower pressures with a Rimpact Insert. It's very noticeable how efficient these are, especially compared to Maxxis Icons, Ardent Race, etc. Weight wise, they are just a bit heavier than the Ron in Snake Skin casing, however the small penalty is justifiable considering their durability. Normally in the past I have trained on a second set of wheels with a heavier tire to save the Rons for race days. After my first 6 rides on them, I am going to keep them on through season including training to see how many miles I can get out of the tread or to see what it will take to compromise the casing.
