I was worried I might not enjoy my Epic EVO ever again but it’s back baby! The sidewalls don't match but over time, once they get a little dirty, hopefully they'll blend into matching colors. I gave Ground Control/Ground Control a shot but the stock setup Ground Control/Fast Trak is faster. Unfortunately it’s still not as fast as it was before. It’s in between stock and GC/GC for acceleration and rolling resistance in certain situations. In others it feels as fast as it used to. Braking was better to with the Fast Trak’s lighter casing but it was still slightly locking up sometimes. I don’t remember hearing the old Fast Trak clawing at the ground for grip but this new version does. Cornering grip is better than the old tires and confidence in off camber is higher. Compliance and comfort over bumps is worse. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Yesterday doing Skymont Cross Trail, I was surprised at how slow and sluggish the GC/GC combo was. Today, I was back to flying and flowing along the trail. I’m very happy to have my XC/gravel bike back.
