The other day I rode 6 miles on an active rail road grade. (along the easement, not down the tracks) Such a ride on a standard 26 inch bike I've tried and it sucked. The Neo-Moto at about 40 PSI rolled over all the rocks and crap along the track that I encountered. It "floated" more that I thought it would, and though on paper such a ride sounds pretty boring, it was quite fun. Last fall, I "raced" the ore to shore epic in upper Michigan, a 48 mile slog mostly through sugary sand, and again these tires floated really well. yes they are heavy. yes there is rolling resistance, but their girth makes them very special in their float and their ability to roll over stuff.
