Matt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Though a little before my mountain biking time, Onza (or OnZa) was one of the big brands in mountain bike tyres and other components in the late nineties. While the brand faded away in the early 2000’s more recently a swiss-based company relaunched the Onza brand and range of tyres.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIPEOUT 1000 Posted September 4, 2014 Share I started the Epic with 2 new ones on my LBS's advise. I had a sidewall cut on the back tire on day 1, changed back to Geax Saguaro. dee_biker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted September 4, 2014 Share I don't always hastily judge a tyre's quality. But when I do, it's because of a sidewall cut... dee_biker, nonky, DACoetzee and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 4, 2014 Share Punctures - rock resistance, any burping off the rim, ideal pressure? All covered in the review. Although no specific mention of burping, but I had no issues there with either rim tested. Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamc Posted September 4, 2014 Share Useless tyre. Had a puncture (mainly sidewall) just about every ride until I got fed up and put tubes in. Since then, no issues. I cannot recommend these tyres sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patensie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Been running Ibex front, Canis rear for more than a year: no problems. Awesome tyres. In fact: Only tyres that, when the current set is finished, I would replace with the same mix since started cycling in 2000. (haven't had ANY puncture issues at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Vader Posted September 5, 2014 Share They are almost 150 grams heavier than their competition and only the 60 tpi reasoning for better sidewall explanation, which does not seem to work anyway. So, not a great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
