BikeRadar verdict

45 out of 5 stars

"Shockingly surefooted mixed filth legend at a great price"

Wed 5 Dec 2007, 4:00 pm UTCBy Guy Kesteven

Swamp Thing has dominated the hardcore winter tyres market since it first appeared on the scene, and nothing has come close to its outstanding grip/ value performance.

The wide spaced, low stub blocks don't bite as deep as a full spike tread but there aren't many tyres that'll turn underneath it unless it's totally sodden and sloppy. The bonus is that it's far more predictable on mixed trails and even wet shore, with no smear however hard you work it. A rounded carcass and plenty of shoulder tread means it transitions superbly into turns, it's fat enough for freeride - even in single ply versions - and it clears instantly.
