MOTO 101

Want to know what I think about my new Moto 2.1's???  Well, then keep reading for my not-so-professional opinion on these awesome tires.
 To be honest, I was a little hesitate about switching tires. The WTB EXIWOLF(s) worked so well for me last race season, and I wasn't sure I wanted to give them up (not even for a single ride).  But what the heck, what if the MOTO(s) worked better than the EXIWOLF(s)???  I just had to find out, so I had my Dad put the MOTO(s) on before heading over to Santos.

At a glance, the MOTO(s) looked thinner than my EXIWOLF(s), but actually they are the same 2.1 width. While on the road, heading from the campground to the trails, I felt a bit slower.  I knew that would be the case because of it's larger softer nobs.  But, oh my goodness, when I got out on the trails, I was flying!!!  These tires can really grip, even on that awful "brown ice".  And climbing...it didn't matter if it was a loose or rocky climb, they really hooked up.
           So yes...without a doubt, these are my new favorite tires.  BRRAP!!!
