Kicks ass, stay on the ground when needed and flies when wanted,

Doesn't come in colors other than black, but black is all ways classy.

As of this review I have been using an Ibex up front and a Citius in the rear on my bike. The tires were setup tubeless and honestly float across the ground like a dream, staying where I put them and moving when I want them. Honestly the way that these tires follow directions is kinda scary almost like the are reading my mind. On a slightly less odd note the tire I'm using in specific is the Ibex 26x2,4 DHC RC^2,55a on the front end. If I could give these tires a better score than 5/5 it would be something more like a 10/10 would bang again...

I was testing the 27,5x2,4 IBEX 120TPS Tubeless ready:
Grip, Traction, Cornering, damp to dry conditions, loose rocks, rock gardens, reliability, damping, tightness if run tubeless - in two weeks time they only lost 0.1bars

when it's minus degrees celsius the compound tends to stiffen - no other weakness so far

I have been running Contis Mountain King 2 Protection in 2,2, the Trail king in protection in 2,4 and the Ibex 27,5x2,4 120 tip on my endure bike. The traction and control in dry is outstanding and of an at least equal level of the Trail King, however when it comes to comfort and damping and running low pressure (setting it up with sealant) the Onza tire is at a whole different level

It kept the air perfectly and I was able to lower the pressure to 1,6 bars (i weigh 95kgs) without any trouble. At such pressure the tires really get aggressive and have maximum traction and grip at a very high level of comfort and damping.
Riding 4 days in Finale Ligure I usually would destroy a pair of tires - the rear tire from Onza sure lost some of its profile but looks as new. The sidewalls don't seem to be impressed by sharp rocks.
Considering the overall characteristics of the tire and compared to other manufacturers the weight of roughly 880g is really ok.
On tarmac there are faster rolling tires out there, however I never felt slow - I think Onza emphasized well on the features and benefits a trail/ Enduro tire must have - the tire is not meant to be the fastest rolling touring tire (even though its good at it too) but to really put a grin onto your face on your local flow trail, rock garden, enduro trail. For more than one year I did not have a flat tire.... So reliability is just great.
