First ride impressions (pavement, hardpack fire roads, and hardpack singletrack)…
They seem to roll really nicely on pavement and hardpack dirt, and aren’t noticeably slower or faster than my previous Pirelli H/M combo. I would like to attribute a new PR in my first significant climb to the tires, but data shows that my power output was higher than previous efforts. Cornering grip in the dirt is good, but not as confidence-inspiring as the Pirelli M on the front (maybe I just need more time on them). Cornering on pavement was predictable and stable. The rear bites a little better under power than the Pirelli H. No surprise there. Today’s ride didn’t include any significant sections of loose/soft surfaces. Overall, I like them a lot, and they will stay on my bike for the time being.
