Offroad with Mondials

Hey all, I just bought a pair of the Schwalbe Marathon Mondials after destroying my previous tires. I primarily use my Straggler for commuting, while I'm not a CX racer but I do spend time out on fire roads and other popular mtb routes here. Does anybody here use these or has tried them? There are good reviews on touring blogs but I want to get the perspective of other guys that ride dirt a lot. I'm under no impression that these are fast tires but I hope they still kick some ass and can take a corner.

I run them on my cross bike and love them:



They really came to life when I converted them to tubeless:



I find those tires to roll quite fast on pavement, at least after switching to tubeless. I can keep my speed on flat pavement within 1-2MPH of my road bike on 28mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. I run the 40mm foldable Mondials at no more than 30psi on and off pavement.
