Just seen some on On One website. £15.00 each and stated they are black chilli??
Is that right? Seems awfully cheap

As above, they're RQs, which in BC flavour are a superb all rounder. Not great on hardpack/tarmac long drags, but really predictable in almost everything else.

They do have to be Black Chilli, though.

You want some of these

those are the UST versions, you probably want the protection tubeless-ready versions as lighter.

Bloody hell,thats a belter of a price,IN looking at the details,the ETRO number shows its for the 2.4 but says the tyre is the 2.2,Do you think these are really BC tyres,I paid over 30quid from the Germans and that was the best price around,

I run the 27.5 version tubeless and they are great, although they seem a bit fragile when I ran tubes in them.

29er version is fragile - the sidewalls seem pretty thin and I tore one at the weekend that won't seal with Stans anymore.

The Conti website doesn't list a wire beaded version with BC compound.
