Bontrager's Jones XR Team Issue Tyres

Has anyone had experience with:

Bontrager's Jones XR Team Issue Tyres?

 

I currently use Kenda karmas (2.1) but would like something similar but faster and lighter. These @ 2.0 are about 300g lighter than Karmas per tyre. Sounds good to me. What do you think?

I also looking at these for my next race pair... international reviews look good, and Lance from Epic highly recommends them

Good summer tire,rolls well and good grip on corners.Not so good in winter.I'm also running kharmas but non tubeliss.Weigh the same  as the team issues but cost half the price.I don't think i will buy the Team issue again at over 1K for a set.Stick with the kendabut go for the non tubeliss one.

Interesting. Are you running the non-tubeless tyres tubeless? If not, does the tyre and tube weigh the same as the Bontragers?

Running kenda kharma 2.0 non tubeless non dtc.The lightest in the range(and cheapest at about R300)on stans rims with joes sealant.Takes a little effort to seal but it will.You must lay the wheel on each side for a while so the sealant gets to the sidewalls.Best tire i found at around 420g that still has loads of grip.
