Strengths: May be a fine tire for low performance in dry conditions.Weaknesses: Don't. Just don't even go near these tires. I've ridden them in 3 rides, all with a mix of damp/dry/wet roads and all three times I've had the tires slide or slip either a bit or a few inches on moderate corners at speed, front and rear slippage, some system that is. Also had a flat from an object/cause I could not locate, so it must have been small and even this small bit was not easily rebuffed by new tires.Bottom Line: Poop. These are absolute crap. I ordered some Schwalbe Durano S tires that have done well for me in the past. That said this is hardly an ad for Scwalbe, the point is that ANY tire I've had in 10 years and at least 75,000 miles of riding, has had better handling! ANY other tire. Please do not crash you or me by riding these. I'm sure it was a "bad batch" but is it worth the risk if Q.C. lets it slide even once?

Strengths: Cost, low resistance, dependable, gripWeaknesses: Wears easily, having to buy separate rear/front tiresBottom Line: Tried them at the recommendation of one of my LBS. Overall they are pretty good. Minimal rolling resistance especially if you have the set. The rear tends to wear much faster even though it is designed more for propulsion. But if you can get it for half off ~ 30$, then they are a great bargain for the performance that you get. Power link gets cut pretty easily, but holds well. Grip has saved me from driver who suddenly stopped - at the cost of totally wearing out tread but without a total blowout. Was worth every penny since I paid 50% off.

Strengths: Light easy to mountWeaknesses: Toooo thin
Got a side walk blow out jra on a clean bike trail on my fifth ride on tire
Didn't inspire confidence in turns anyway
Wouldn't have bought this tire if it wasn't a forced addin to the ksyrium wheels
Bottom Line: Yksion too light for training, poor grip for anything shy of new smooth road
However the new kysrium sls with the extra-machined rims is awesome
Just give away the tire when you get the wheel
It use it for the trainer
There's a reason they're half price everywhere

Strengths: Low rolling resistance and durabilityWeaknesses: Wet grip?Bottom Line: These are excellent tyres. I have been using them for the past 2500km without even a hint of trouble. They roll exceptionally well, are not prone to cuts and resist punctures (have not had one yet). Dry grip is great, but have not tried them in the wet. I have tried a lot of tyres and I would rate these better than the top of the line vittoria corsa evo cx which I had been using to now. Can be had for 30USD if you search which makes them great value.

Strengths: Smooth ride and mounted easily.Weaknesses: All good for now.Bottom Line: I have 5 rides (around 250 miles) on these tires. GripLink up front, PowerLink in back. They replaced Pro Race 3 which were about 2 years old and beginning to show a little wear. I like them. They are very smooth and complement the LOOK carbon frame they're on in terms of handling road shock. One ride was in driving rain. I pushed it a little harder as my confidence grew with them and was pleased that they handled the lean well.
So far... these are keepers. If anything changes, I'll re-post. Thx
