Airsun Mount Cook Reviews

[TyronLab]

Hi all.

 

Hoping to get some feedback on the Airsun Mount Cook tyre (or any Airsun tyre for that matter). Buycycle has a special running today for 2x 29er 2.25 120TPI Mount Cooks for R399, which is a pretty sweet deal.

 

My riding is all in Gauteng, 50% road, 30% gravel / simple singletrack, 20% "park" (jumps etc.). 

 

Currently have a 2.1in Michelin Wild Grip'R on the front, 2.2in Chaoyang Hornet 60TPI at the back, both of which are in need of replacement relatively soon. 

 

I would have wanted to get a 2.4in front tyre for a bit more comfort, but  the 2.25 Airsun is a good enough improvement over my current 2.1.

 

Any feedback, inputs or experience with these tyres? Doing Transbaviaans in a month, would ideally like to get a fresh set of rubber on before then.

I used to ride Arisun Mount Grahams (120 TPI and 2.25) for years - probably 3 sets in total - and never had any issues. At one stage the Momsen Factory team used to race with them, hence they had the Momsen branding as well - the one's I used.

 

Can't comment on the Mount Hook, but in my experience the Arisun's were really good value for money.

Any up-to-date reviews on this tyre. Just about to strap on two for a trial...looks like a reasonable weight XC tyre...was very cheap??
