So #crossiscoming#crossishere#crossisboss#insertanoth ercxhashtag

Wondering if anyone had any experience on the clement BOS, there isn't too much reviewed about them yet.

thanks!

I'm interested in this tire also. This year, I'll probably be running a WTB Nano for dry races, but want something tubeless with better mudclearing for any wet races.

just curious...whats the thinking behind a 40c tire with a nano tread for dry conditions?

ive ridden nanos quite a bit, raced em in the D R Y myself, but only because i had no other options at the time haha
i would hardly say they were the ideal tire for it, felt heavy and slow/overkill.

if you like larger tire volume but dont want to sacrifice as much speed...check out panaracer comet hard pack in 38c, or something with a similarly shallow/many knobbed design.
ive found these tires/treads to roll quite fast on a variety of surfaces without giving up traction/grip in corners.

as for the BOS...looks cool, but those knobs are a LOT of rubber, ie heavyyyyy, way more tread than anyone will need unless you are racing in the MUDDD every single weekend.

I'm heavy and bad at cyclocross and I want to bulldoze things? Cat 6 supreme

Also I pretty much only rode gravel the first couple years I was a cyclist, and only on those tires, so I've probably ridden them more than any other tread combined, on and off road. A definite confidence booster.

more float through huge sandpits?
