The Trailbears' moderate, 690-gram weight and 2.25-inch width make them not quite light and narrow enough for XC racing, but a fine choice for high-demand, all-around riding. At the same time, the heft and girth of the Trailbear isn't adequate for seriously aggressive terrain, but has enough width to handle most trails -- within reason.
Let's define "within reason" in terms of Goldilocks:1. Goldilocks trying to run away from angry bears chasing her over trails with drops no higher than her head: Clean getaway. 2. Goldilocks trying to run away from angry bears at the Red Bull Rampage or a World Cup DH race: Bear food.
Overall, the Trailbear is a good tire for hardtail riders who want a bit of extra cushion to their ride. It's also a good choice for full-suspension riders who want to be able to clock some miles without unnecessary suffering, while still being able to go rip.
