Intense System 4 2.25 Tyre
Added by Conrad 03 July 2009

So the world cup was very fruitfull for me. Being in the right place at the right time to help people out, aloud me to coliect some freebies. Some cool stuff from the MS Evil guys, included a few sets of Intense Tyres. And umungst those was a pair of System 4s.

These tyres are awesome! I put them on my bike the week after the worlds and have been riding them since. The first challenge for the tires was to see if they would go tubeless and they did. Very well in fact, because they have such soft beads. Next was a morning ride a Giba and then the Karlkloof Classic. Both an varying conditions. Both rides had some wet slick mud, a bit of loamy stuff and dry, dusty sections. The tires just seemed to hook up on pretty much anything and because of that, they don't give that sketchy feel as you change from one type of dirt to another. Just put the hammer down and pin anything.

The side walls are also great, They are a little thicker than most foldable tires, so they work well at lower pressures and they run flat pretty well too. Speaking of sidewalls: the only down site so far has been a small hole in my rear tire, that turned into a bubble. it looks like sealant leaked into the layer between the inner and outer casing and attacked that adhesive. i have now put a but in there and will see how long it lasts.

Other wise great tire, so hope to get some in stock soon.
