On rocks they are super grippy. Not fast, but they have a high degree of grip. Make sure you use a lower pressure too as the knobs will squirm more at a higher pressure. ole from norway: These tires can be run tubeless with Stan’s solution on a tubeless ready rim, (Stan’s, Bontrager TLR rime, or Mavic Cr29max wheels) They worked rather well tubeless for me.

BUT they really do preform well. I used them for a 12 hour race and some other smaller riding. both MTB sizes and I enjoyed them heaps. in 26 inch they come in 4 types and 2 widths. Also , just some advice. Do not ride this tire on the road. they burn out VERY fast. so keep em on the soft stuff and they will keep you happy.

Best tire I've tried for that, but I haven't tried them all. 2.4 front, 2.2 rear. I’m running these tubeless and I had a couple of rides in the wet and mud.
