Specialized Roll X
- Thread starter BULLIT_CN
- Start date
Well, I used them for a short while. This is what I found: they seem larger than your average 2.0 tire. The tread seems to work well and I didn't notice any increase or decrease in rolling resistance. Then, I slit a sidewall. That type of thing really pisses me off, so I took them off and started using something else. I'm on Panaracer Fire XC Pros now.
They have a larger carcass and shorter knobs, similar to a 2.4 Mutano, and they roll very fast. Good tires.
I like the rollx tires for general xc riding. But for racing I have switched to kenda karma dtc. The rollx pro is about 575grams, rolls slower and is wider than the kenda karma (which is about 470grams).
In wet conditions and roots the rollx are pretty reliable compared to the kendas. I suppose it depends on what you are a trail rider or racer. Most racers would say it is too heavy and slow and wide.
I like them enough to recommend them.
