First Impressions...
JeremyHill, PRESTON Always been a little bit suspicious of Kenda mtb tyres. These tyres required high air pressure to fit properly. Low pressure the tyre appeared to be warped. High pressure and additional twisting of the tyre was required to fit properly. Flat in the first fortnight, may have been just bad luck.
They do roll well though.

Good rollers
JonathanFry, Hillcrest -Auckland I was able to maintain a higher gear ratio over my favourite trail for much longer due to the low rolling resistance of these tyres. Good deal Torpedo 7.

Great tyre
ChrisMinehan, Devonport This is a great tyre. It came as OE on my Giant but I fell in love with it. It is good on hard pack but works suprisingly well on gravel over hard, much better than you'd think. It's even good on sand. It fills up quick on mud and doesn't work so well on leaf litter, but is very fast rolling and not overly pressure dependant. I had to take the front off in a wet race the other day, but the rear still worked well. Plenty of drive, slidey sideways but nothing impossible.
