Re: [RBW] Re: 650b Marathons vs. 650b Soma Xpress

[Toshi Takeuchi]

I have both tires, but on different bikes. The Xpress is a kevlar tire and is almost half the weight, so I imagine that one would be the faster tire.  

If you are interested in a faster tire, then the Soma B-line is worth consideration.  It is basically the Pasela in 650b size.

I've never tried the Marathos 650B, but do have the Soma.  A very nice tire.  Better looking than Marathons, IMO.
