Pros: Light, Fast with little rolling resistance, grips well in sand wet and dry, rocky rooty trails.

Con: Thin and subject to thorn flats. ( using a tire liner has greatly reduced flats) Not very good on wet muddy trails. Rear tire washes out on steep grade with loose dirt. Thin sidewalls subject to tear.


Overall: Very fast light weight tire. Would reccomend for UWF, OM, Swayback type trail conditions. Chicky when wet its not a good tire to run.

My review on SB8's after about 30 miles at UWF:

I concur with everything Eric said.

Also, I run tubes & a tire liner.

I've been out of it a while but I have race the small blocks in all condition. Except for a 1.9 semi-slick they were hands down the fastest tires I ran. They shed the mud fairly well and and I had no problems with flats (I ran stans and tubless). They are a great tire for speed.
