To set the record. Yes, Brendan was running specialized tyres. You will find a shit load of pro's who are sponsored by other tyre companies will use Maxxis Wetscreams or High Rollers if their respective sponsors don't provide a suitable alternative. Normally they black out the logo's but in this case Brendan obviously didn't. The photo above shows him with a Speccy tyre and the photo linked to above has him running Minions. Anyway, big deal, does it really matter that much?
you don't know your tires very well this tire has not come out yet when it does i heard it will be called butcher the clutch has a diffrent pattern and is already out
You don't know how to spell tyres (tires?). Mate I work in a Specialized concept store here in the UK. We have in stock on the shelf the very tyre in the above photo & hey guess what? It's called 'Clutch'. My mate is running them on his old Demo 9. Reckons they are pretty hot in the wet stuff which is just as well living here in the good ole UK.
prehaps you should be fired or up your glasses to a higher perscription because the center knobs on this tire are shaped and siped diffrently from a clutch from this observation one can deduce that this tire is indeed not a clutch furthermore the spacing and shape of the shoulder knobs is diffrent leading me to believe once agin this is not a clutch
Look at this photo www.pinkbike.com/photo/3337435. You can see the Maxxis Logo on the front tyre. I know this is possibly a wetscream, but he wouldn't use two different makes of tyre.
