On rock gardens on an XC track gardens they would be lost with narrow tyres (but 2.1 is not that narrow, at least for XC). | |

When world cup DH racers are riding the mud (not just wet dirt, but mud), they'll opt for something like the Maxxis Wet Scream (2.1" wide) and cut down the spikes to the estimated depth at which they'll slice through the slop down to firmer dirt. In muddy cyclocross courses, the 33 mm tires excel compared to what you'd normally "want" under other (drier) circumstances. | |
