There are also studies that have shown that a 700 x 25 is faster than a 700 x 23 but racer types won't go bigger than a 23c on the road. The 23's FEEL faster I guess??

Honestly I have both 700 x 23s and 700 x 25s and run them on the same bike (my fixie)...
1. I don't notice a difference between faster or slower on rides...
2. If I have the legs that day I'm fast no matter what tires I'm on !!
3. If you end up flatting because you go to low on PSI then it doesn't matter rolling resistance or wattage or anything... That's why race time it's best to find the right PSI for you, your bike, tire setup and such so you make it the end of most races.. Momma always said you can take air out of your tires but putting it to the right PSI out on the trail is a BEAR !!
Aren't they just trying to sell tires ??
I do like the look and concepts behind their cross tires.
