Review on Bell Hybrid Bike Tire Defense by David Plunkett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid tire adding little rolling resistance

They were very easy to fit and held up well for the first 50 miles, will be upgraded later after more use. They're wider than the 700x38C OEM tires they replaced on my Cannondale Hybrid, so they're not optimal for road use, but they're more than adequate. Very comfortable both on the road and on "groomed" fine dirt tracks, thanks to the rigid profile with grooves and the fact that they are not unidirectional.
