The very kind folks over at mtb-bitz.co.uk sent me these Maxxis Medusa spikes to check out. Judging by how dark and sloppy it was in the woods last night I reckon it's about time to get 'em on the bike...They're designed as a wet weather XC race tyre, but the 2.1 version looks like a pretty decent 'all mountain' tyre for a trail bike or a hard tail...
The nobbles are nice and tall to cut into the mud and are widely spaced so they don't clog up. They're also meant to work pretty well at low pressues for plenty of grip. I'll give 'em a good thrashing and let you know how they go in Issue 8.
They're available in 1.55, 1.8 and 2.1 and in various combos of 62a and 70a. Price is about £20 each.
If you want something a bit more heavy duty, maybe check out the amazing Swamp Things or Wet Screams, both great tyres.
