I've seen the pics too. VERY minimal tread. A true, racing only tire that should make a 29"er an XC rocket. Yep! I’ve seen the pics too. VERY minimal tread.

It's a very minimal tread, pics do float around the net already, even with the 29" logo's. I think they called it Vel-Crow. It looks like the tread will roll about as good as a Conti Twister or Maxxis Flyweight. But that in 29"...oh momma! Not sure about using it as a front tire myself, but for the the already available Kenda Karma (515-540g so far)just might be the ticket. Tubed Karma front, tubeless (Vel-)Crow rear. Race away!
