This tire is amazing, most confident inspiring, super fast on everything, hooks up in the corners, and yet brakes like it was made specifically for each one of those characteristics. Absolutely amazing! The center tread is a bunch of hexagons but they are at a slight angle, sorta like fish scales, fast rolling but the edges dig in and hook up when braking and cornering.
Installed 700cx35 on old aluminum hybrid Kona Dew Deluxe yesterday. Rode to work on wet pavement today, weighed down with two panniers. I'm very impressed - the tires are very compliant, the previously rough ride was almost silky in comparison. Great grip in the wet. They need a slight push to spin up, but then roll very smoothly with a perceptible reduction in effort. Brought the grin to my rain bike commute.
To keep my 5-star rating they will have to prove themselves to be reasonably flat resistant and have decent tread life.
