Can't seem to see a thread on this. It appears that Onza have reissued the Onza Procupine, including a white option. They're fairly different to the originals, with square rather than circular center knobs, but still look awesome. Gutted that they don't do a 26" version for my Indy Fab. 🙁

Does it matter?! White Onza Porcupines. 🙂

(Serious answer - according to the details on their website the white ones only come in 60a compound so should be reasonably durable. The black versions are available in softer compounds.)

I'm waiting for these to come back.

Fast as lightning in dry conditions, but at the first spot of rain...!

Briefly piqued my interest and then meh. Just one more thing in a couple of decades of sticking bought-out 90s brand names on stuff; it just happens to be white.

I mean, I don't doubt it's a better tyre, but it's not a Porc and it's got massive fugly panels on the sidewalls. And I don't have a bike they'll fit anyway 😉

Shame they didn't announce it a month ago and then we could have had a re-release of the Octopus as well.

Also very fast, just maybe not the direction you want to go. I still have one in the hut.
