- Excellent traction and control on both wet and dry terrain, thanks to the high-volume casing and the aggressive tread design. The EXO protection adds durability and puncture resistance, while still keeping the weight low.
- The tire is not as fast-rolling as some other XC-oriented tires, due to the larger volume and more aggressive tread pattern. This can make it less suitable for hardpack and smooth surfaces where speed is a priority.
