RaRa addix speed (liteskin) 29x2.25
574g and 576g.
claimed is 560 so close enough.
Just a 1 yr review of the longterm use of this new addix speed compound. If you scroll back a year ago you can see where I had bought the (snake skin) version of the same tires. I can 100% for sure say that the new compound last and last a very long time. I cannot say if they grip the same to me as they grip just like old RaRa's IMO. However, the old pacestar rara's would literally start to lose the side knobs for me in about 4 rides. They were way too expensive to be going thru them that fast so I had switched to specialized tires. Anyways, the addix compound for sure last. Matter of fact I just put these new ones on after a whole year of riding the addix snake skins.
These liteskins feel much better compared to the snakeskins. They are way more supple. They actually remind me of the old s works compound and feel which makes sense because they nabbed that guy up from specialized to help make rara better. Now I will say...The liteskins took a bit to get them to stay sealed. You had to put sealant in and leave them on their sides over night and air them up again in the morning and do thi s for about 48hrs till they finally sealed and stayed that way. As a race day tire I am pretty good to start just using these. I just ran them at Marathon MTB Nationals and they made it. I saw TONS of flats at this event too. Most from what I could see seemed to be vittoria. I did puncture on some bombing descent, but it eventually sealed and I was able to hit it with some co2 and keep going.
So there you have it. I personally like the new addix compound as far as it truly living up to "lasting longer". They do.
Hope that helps.
