Totally reliable grip in pretty much all conditions, not too much rolling resistance, light and reasonably puncture-proof. Mine got a bit slashed up on a flinty 40mph descent in Morzine last summer but didn't burst. A friend's Tioga Blue Dragon just split open on the same run though... Sidewalls look tired quickly but are holding up. Basically, buy them (in 2.4") unless you ride really flinty stuff really fast.

These tyres are fast. Really fast. From the first push on the pedals, it's like having a personal tailwind everywhere you go. The Nics are part of Schwalbe's 3-tyre 'race' range and although they are pitched at wet/rough terrain, that's only relative to the other tyres in the range; the Racing Ralphs look like half-worn Nics and the Freds have like *no* tread at all. Bottom line is that the Nics are ideal for typical mixed-bag UK XC dirt but DH'rs and jumpers need to look elsewhere.

The Nics have a very rounded profile which results in sharp turn-in if you're used to a squarer profile but they grip like mad in corners and dodgy off-cambers. Uphill pedal mashing-sessions result in lots of forward motion, very little slippage (even on loose ground) and acceleration is instantaneous.

The lack of weight means they are fairly easily deflected by rounded stones and slippery roots but they soon regain their composure. As mentioned above, the come up on the small side (my 2.1s are more like 1.8s).

Recommended if you use a bit of skill and finesse while you're riding.

I have been riding with these tyres for 4 years now in Belgium and get on with them just fine. It's quite muddy here and yet I haven't sufferred the sidewall issues that seem to plague other riders. I expect (as much as it sounds like a BR excuse for late trains) that it comes down to it being the wrong sort of mud (or the right sort, depending on your perspective). They are quite sensitive to air pressure, I suppose due to the thin sidewalls, but once set up I don't find them at all squirmy.

If you need stronger sidewalls, have a look at the snakeskin version, they are much lighter now than the first gen ones and so much stiffer walled than the normal nics.I have used the 2.1 and 2.25 in the normal sidewall and 2.4 Snakeskin and have been impressed with all of them. Currently I am using a Maxxis High roller out back, due to their god like grip and nic up front. they both work in a variety of conditions and, unless I lived somewhere that had very consistant trail conditions I would choose this tyre (and the HR).
