For this feature, we used Bridgestone's Ba lecross
X31 front and a gummy E50 Extreme rear. By adding
2" to our gap length for the front, we cut the fourth
sec on to 13.5" to achieve a feel of 6-8psi as if it were
a tube, and placed it in with the remaining three sec-
ons. As for the rear, per the chart, to achieve a feel
of 6- 8 psi again, we deducted 3" from the gap length
and cut the fourth sec on as needed, placed it in the
re, mounted it to the rim, then installed the wheel-
sets and hit the trail.
How does the NITRO PROLINX perform? Well,
my friends, I'm sold. We mounted our PRO-
LINX-equipped wheelset to our Beta 200 RR X-PRO
test bike and hit the woods in search of rocky,
loose climbs for a proper evalua on. Having been
quite familiar with the Bridgestone X31 front/E50
Extreme rear combo, I knew trac on would be
good, but what truly impressed me is how well the
res, especially the rear, conform to rocks, roots,
and basically any obstacle that might cause loss of
trac on or deflec on. As men oned previously in
this issue, I'm quite smi en with the Beta 200 RR
X-PRO. With proper res for our bony terrain and
the new NITRO PROLINX system, the li le Beta has
been transformed into a mountain goat!
