Ysterman Posted March 11, 2010 Share According to some German research ... Racing Ralp Evo 2.25 vs Rocket Ron 2.25: Rocket Ron is slightly better at: Traction, Racling Ralph is slightly better at: Thorn Resistance, Flattening Height, Rolling Resitance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iron Posted March 11, 2010 Share I have a set of Rocket Rons , i used them at Sabie two weeks back( im a farley agressive single track rider and found these to be super ) and last weekend at the Harmony gold race , the are super light and have great traction. One big down side that i have is that you will strugle to get them to go tubeless, the side walls are way to thin and i cant get mine to seal so went back to tubes for these two past races. That said they are great only done 150km and know for sale , pureley because i cant get them to seal. If you only going to use tubes then go for them , i dont think you will find lighter tyres.

Konaman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Use Racing Ralphs - we have been using it for a year now - the tubeless version seals easy and is very light; Great fast tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
