The tire is called Revolution Pro D2. If you remember the Adrenaline, it looks just like it with a dual compound tread 65 center and a 55 outeredge.

I just picked up an Exi (DNA) for the front of my KM. Huge difference with reagrd to feel over the cheapo Moto. I'm hesitant to run one in the rear though due to past experinces w/DNA and rocks on the Walt. I've only run WTBs so far because I like a wider tire, the Specialized sounds great - especially for the front end of a rigid bike. Hopefully it's got tough sidewalls.

That should be a HELL of a tire. I’m personally more excited about the offering Panaracer will be letting lose on us yet this summer (or Fall?). That should be a HELL of a tire.

Just today on the commute home, my 1000g tires totally pestered the heck out of a fit roadie on sub-200g tires. He managed to stay with me, barely :-) Lightweight FAT race tires can be made, agressive ones not. Luckily, the same goes for 26" tires, so the difference will always be minute.

Perhaps some people will actually be disappointed when they find out it's TOO big for their stays! For the record, WTB is supposedly coming out with some 29"er tire that is bigger than the Exi Wolf is. The Haro Mary 29"er was designed around it's dimensions.
