Any experience with this version? (2.25 graphene 4c compound)

Rear use preferably.

Any width measurements?

braking performance?

grip?

rolling resistance?

(i heard raving reviews for the older non graphene edition for trail all around use)

Only for the front but I rate them highly. They seem to be about what a 2.25" tyre should be width wise, brake and steer well too.

I have the non G+, that one is supposed to be better.   For the non version which I’m also using on the front and have done now over a variety of mixed conditions riding and racing, I’d thoroughly recommended it and would echo Steve_b77 comments.

Its an amazing tyre IMO, I’ve never had one can rely on so much.

Definitely contemplating going for this when I next change tyres. Not sure what to run on the rear though (mezcal or peyote?), I've spent so long on Schwalbes (RoRa) that nothing else makes sense!

I'm using up my RoRo's on the rear as we transcend from soft to dust, but have some Mescal G+ ready to go (Probikekit had a 50% discount).

There is of course the new Racing Ray and Racing Ralph.... coming over the summer.    However, IMO the Vittoria's I have knocked the look of quality of Schwalbes for 6...

I use either a Peyote if it's a bit muddy, a barzo if it's proper muddy or a Mezcal for everything else on the rear.
